Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). I am in my late 30's, run a business and have always felt well informed when it comes to money, however I have learned so much from reading this book that it has quite literally changed the way I think on many money related issues. I already knew something about a lot of these topics, but Whateley's clear and casual writing style helped me understand them all even better. In the next section of the book, Whateley explains the different kinds of debts and how to navigate them.

There was even a very interesting part of the book where the author explains some ideas on how to talk about money with your significant other and how it is rarely talked about that really opened my eyes. She grew up in the West Country and studied PPE at the University of Warwick before moving to East London. For this reason, it’s crucial that we speak to our partners about money and have a solid plan for cohabitation. There is a helpful section about how ideas from psychology, such as anchoring and overvaluing sales, can impact the way we handle money.Otherwise, there is the odd useful tip scattered through, like thoughts on whether to prioritise saving or paying off debt. Creo que podria haber ahondado en el tema inversiones, o dar consejos mas profundos sobre como ahorrar y administrar el dinero, creo que lo que menciona de esos temas se aprende en la vida cotidiana facilmente, quiza seria mas util el libro para alguien que nunca tuvo un trabajo ni se independizó, alguien que nunca haya pagado cuentas, o que no haya tenido cuentas bancarias, etc. Whilst I’m not 100% sure that I’m the target audience (I don’t have a much higher-than-average salary), I still appreciated that this book touched on the importance of finances in relationships, money and gender and money in relation to mental health.

Money management can seem to be quite a tedious subject matter, but Whately has a really easy going and entertaining tone which meant I couldn't out this book down! Now, everyone’s journey will be different, but we all have the very same opportunity to get better at looking after our money.The most positive aspect is that it goes beyond pure Financial Freedom aspects and addresses many different financial topics such as finding housing at a reasonable rate, handling debt, and optimizing bills. Laura Whateley understands her subject and knows how to explain it in such a way that you will be able to make informed choices about your finances, rather than feeling confused and patronised' THE TIMES About the Laura Whateley is an award-winning journalist and The Times' consumer champion writing the agony aunt column, 'Troubleshooter', and 'Millennial Money' in the Saturday Money section. While it provides a good basic overview, the book is not focused on financial independence or investing to create an income. I enjoyed this as a good introduction to financial matters for someone of roughly my demographic - a millennial in a professional role. I was reaping social and valuable financial advice before I’d even finished the first chapter…her experience as a journalist on the money desk for The Times, The Sunday Times and the Guardian allows her to do something that I’d never experienced before: she explains money clearly’.

C onsider the appropriateness of the information having regard to your objectives, financial situation and needs, and seek professional advice where appropriate. While this is not a book we have heard of, we have, at a reader’s request, decided to have a look at what is covered and who might benefit from it. For this reason, I would not recommend this book to anyone looking to go beyond the very basics of personal finance. I skipped half the book because the information was not relevant to me and most of the useful stuff was sort of glossed over and not explained in any detail at all. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.As well as the practical benefits of this book, which are many, the book is thoroughly enjoyable, extremely interesting and very very well written. I enjoyed the section about emotions and personal finances, which included a chapter about money and relationships and one about money and mental health. I think I can speak for most when I say that any book that deconstructs all the financial jargon that is thrown at us must be a good read.
