Life has become so fast-paced and complicated.
Through technological innovation, we're connected 24/7, we're busier than ever before and finding it hard to balance all aspects of our lives - not least the family budget! Best-selling authors Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley's new book offers a simple, proven approach that will make money simple again, helping you to spend less than you earn so that you can save and invest for your financial future.
History leaves clues; back in the day our grandparents would receive cash (remember that?) in a paper pay-packet (I kid you not), then they would physically set aside the dollars to 'rent/mortgage', 'food and bills' and 'savings' - often in those old-fashioned flour jars - one for each area of expense. It was simple, and it worked.
Bryce and Ben's teachings draw on this proven logic of allocating income to various financial commitments, both short and longer term, ensuring you have the right amount of money for today, but just as importantly for tomorrow.
Of course, in our grandparents' days, there was no 'tap and go', no credit cards, store cards or one-click purchasing, all geared to take our money from us. The authors recognise that all these options challenge our financial willpower, but their experience, from working with thousands of people, in all stages of life, over almost two decades prove that their system works.
The MoneySMARTS money management system outlined in this amazing new book, cuts through the today's challenges of digital (invisible) money, to showcase a proven, rules-based approach to ensure you are in complete control of your finances.
In

- Know where your money goes
- Take control of your spending
