This book cuts through the usual financial jargon to explain the big issues of money management. We learn how our finances can be destroyed - with the help of outside 'experts', including: outright criminal scammers, commission-hungry salespeople, badly trained investment advisers, tax avoidance planners, confused economists, misleading politicians and scaremongering journalists. We also see how (well-intentioned) advice from 'family and friends' can be dangerous too! And we see how our own, irrational, behaviours can cause our biggest money mistakes. Most of us face the same long-term challenge with 'money' and life. We want a decent income in our 'later years' but we also need to support our loved ones before we get there. And we'd like to have something left over for ourselves - to have a bit of fun today. The good news is that most of us can achieve this balance with a lot less pain than some 'experts' will tell us. In this book we see how the depressing weekend newspaper headlines - on the horrendous cost of a pension - are often misleading, and we learn how to cut their projected costs in half! This book is the first in a series which demystifies money management and, most importantly, helps us to 'connect' our money to the things that really matter in our lives.
