Fast forward some months and I’ve learnt a lot through reading books, attending events and joining Facebook groups. A *very* useful guide for someone as financially illiterate as me, and a really great primer on all things money - pensions, investing, mortgages, taxes etc. While it provides a good basic overview, the book is not focused on financial independence or investing to create an income. Money: A User’s Guide by Laura Whateley is a good starting point for people who are well below average when it comes to personal finances.
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. Everything is explained in an accessible and digestible way, I'd definitely recommend to anyone feeling daunted about all that adult-ing entails.Whateley acknowledges that previous generations had a much more defined structure: the man went to work and paid for life, while the woman stayed at home and looked after the household.
This book is so good that I think everyone in the UK should own a copy and be encouraged to read it annually. Even though I am young and the topics the author does not directly address my financial goal at the moment, it allows you to gain an insight into one’s financial journey to navigate in your mid 20’s to late 30’s. It touches on many topics, including money and relationships, money and mental health, and ethical investing. It's seperated into step by step chapters which make it easy to navigate and useful if you're looking for specific help.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. I am 18 years old and soon to embark the independent student life which I know comes with a lot of financial worry. Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). 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.
There is a helpful section about how ideas from psychology, such as anchoring and overvaluing sales, can impact the way we handle money. Most importantly, it's entirely readable, without getting bogged down in long descriptions of financial products, etc. She also specialises in affordable travel, property, and interiors for The Times and has written for The Sunday Times , the Guardian , the Observer , Dow Jones and Moneywise magazine. I also think that this book should be included within the high school curriculum for those in year 10 and 11, it would certainly be far more beneficial to young people who are about to start out in the world than subjects like history and geography. Money: A User’s Guide by Laura Whateley was published in 2018 and aims to educate young people between the ages of 18 and 40 about how to best handle their money.
El libro está bien pero es bastante basico y tuve que saltear demasiadas secciones porque no aplican al pais donde vivo. This isn't a bad book but I just feel that some of it was pitched at people who really had no idea about the simplest of things. And maybe it wouldn’t have been so many years if I hadn’t suspected they’d make me talk to her again, haha!
