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 $78,173 on your mortgage and wiping out 7 years of payments
  • 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.

Money management has always been a serious subject...either you know about it or you don't. This book is the best I've ever read on managing money, largely because of the fun way in which Scott teaches. I am only up to the third date night and am already enjoying the changes thus far.
My husband and I are in fits of laughter at some of the verbiage used in this book ...Scott is so funny and we are enjoying the fact that we are finally discussing money issues without arguing. I have recommended this book to my friends and will purchase copies for each of my 4 children and the three oldest grandchildren for Christmas. Absolutely love it!

There's a reason this is a hit. As Barefoot himself says, it's not complex, it just requires planning.

If you are new to financial literacy, think you need a boost or want to check you are on the right path, I would recommend this book. It is a step by step guide on how to get the best return on whatever money you have, reduce debt and invest for growth.

A friend at work recommended this book to me and I am so glad he did. I thought my finances were in an alright state but they are now perfect. The book was a brilliant read for someone who doesn't like the nitty gritty of getting your money in order. So easy to read and funny in places.
I have now subscribed to the newsletter and love the 'lamen terms' updates from Scott.

Scott provides comprehensive, yet simple, advice to the everyday Australian trying to gain financial peace of mind. Reading through the book is like having a conversation with Scott himself as he guides you through from setting yourself up to start saving, through to retiring comfortably.

Scott talks straight talk! This book will give anyone reading it a real sense of security for their future, such simple steps to follow that anyone can do it. What a delight to have someone talk the truth to you about finances, without charging you an astronomical fee up front, or an annual fee for their advice. Scott should be cloned so he can teach his lessons in every school - that would fix all the debt worry! I only hope every parent reads this book and passes on their knowledge to their family. Well done Scott, you are a true champ.

This book should be made mandatory reading for every school kid and just as importantly, should be read in conjunction with their parents. The book answers the so-called "dumb" questions which people are too scared or embarrassed to ask. You are doing yourself a DISSERVICE by not reading it.

My husband loved this book and has implemented most of Scott's ideas already. Easy to follow and the added humour makes a boring topic quite interesting.
