This is the only money guide you’ll ever need.

That’s a bold claim, given there are already thousands of finance books on the shelves.

So what makes this one different?

Well, you won’t be overwhelmed with a bunch of ‘tips’ … or a strict budget (that you won’t follow).

You’ll get a step-by-step formula: open this account, then do this; call this person, and say this; invest money here, and not there. All with a glass of wine in your hand.

This book will show you how to create an entire financial plan that is so simple you can sketch it on the back of a serviette … and you’ll be able to manage your money in 10 minutes a week.

You’ll also get the skinny on:

Saving up a six-figure house deposit in 20 months

Doubling your income using the ‘Trapeze Strategy’

Saving $77,641 and wipe almost seven years off your mortgage

Finding a financial advisor who won’t rip you off

Handing your kids (or grandkids) a $140,000 cheque on their 21st birthday

Why you don’t need $1 million to retire … with the ‘Donald Bradman Retirement Strategy’.

Sound too good to be true? It’s not.

This book is full of stories from everyday Aussies — single people, young families, empty nesters, retirees — who have applied the simple steps in this book and achieved amazing, life-changing results.

And you’re next.

Life changing. Stuff the hype, jump on anyway!

I read it and ignored it. Then i read it again and did some of it. Then i read it again and actually did it and now i have "too much" money and do not want for anything. I am also able to help out my friends and family and weather unexpected bills and unforeseen events. It changed my life.

Seriously, financially the best purchase I've made in a long time. I've never been good with money and those around me know it. I've looked at purchasing this book for a while and umm'ed and ahh'ed about it and finally took the plunge months later to purchase and just give it a go. As I said before, best purchase I've made. I've so far in a small time span, saved for the first time in my life and actually haven't touched my savings, changed my banks and everything! He keeps it all simple and says to follow it week by week, then monthly after but in all honesty I smashed the book in a day. I was ready to make a change and I did it! Couldn't recommend this book more!
