About this listen

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

As seen on ITV's This Morning! A life-changing 10-week plan to help you to turn your life around and design a path to financial freedom, enriched with the small experiences that bring you joy.

Stop worrying about money. Start enjoying your life.

You might be struggling in debt, living paycheque to paycheque, or worried about preparing for retirement; maybe you're considering your first investment, or you just want an escape plan from the '9 to 5'. Wherever you are on your journey, this book will revolutionize your lifestyle and your relationship with money.

Authors Ken and Mary Okoroafor started out as resource-poor, working-class immigrants and have built a life of financial independence and joyful moments through hard work, smart saving and savvy investing. They know what it feels like to start from ground zero, and as a chartered accountant and former CFO, Ken shares his financial expertise to help you unlock the secret to building wealth.

You'll learn how to take control of your finances, develop good money habits, become debt-free, invest in assets and multiply your income so you can create the freedom to travel, spend time with your loved ones and plan for a stress-free (early) retirement - all whilst prioritising your wellbeing and having fun!

It also includes a dozen real-life interviews with singles, couples and those with children, from different backgrounds, age groups and stages of their money journey, including a few well-known public figures.

Financial joy can be achieved by anyone - and it can start today, not tomorrow.

This book is the best personal finance book I’ve ever read. It’s practical and addresses all areas of finance at entry level. Whilst most finance books either discuss theory, ideas or talk about complex stock market concepts. This book is excellent for a lay educated audience (I’m a medical doctor). It addresses practical areas such as pension, savings, increasing income, investments types. Absolutely excellent and highly recommended. Thank you very much for creating such a gem!

Best personal finance book I’ve read

Financial Joy by Ken and Mary Okoroafor has truly transformed the way I think about money. This book goes beyond just the basics of personal finance—it shows you how to build a positive relationship with your finances while making the journey enjoyable. Ken and Mary break down complex financial concepts into easy-to-follow steps that anyone can implement, no matter their starting point.

One of the most rewarding takeaways for me has been setting up a Junior ISA for my son, which he now manages himself using his pocket money. It's amazing to see how empowered and responsible he's become at such a young age, thanks to the practical advice in this book.

If you're looking to take control of your financial future with clarity, confidence, and a bit of joy, I highly recommend Financial Joy. It’s a game-changer for anyone ready to transform their financial life.

Well worth it

Financial Joy by Ken and Mary provides a wealth of insightful information that can help individuals reassess their financial values and habits. The concepts presented are valuable, especially for those looking to improve their financial literacy and mindset. However, I found the audiobook to be quite lengthy, and I think it could benefit from some sections being condensed for a more engaging experience. Despite the length, I'm excited to implement some of what I learned, as even small changes can acknowledge the need for improvement in one’s financial journey.

Financial habits!
