About this listen

 Today's turmoil in the financial markets illustrates how important it is to be in control of your money. This book addresses the core fundamentals of financial literacy, how to make your money go further, how to get the best return on your investment, how banks work and why city traders earn such enormous bonuses. It plots paths out of debt and builds financial confidence so readers feel in charge of their finances.

Duncan knows the true value of money: now worth £310 million, he was born into extreme post-war poverty. Taking each area of our financial lives in turn - earning, spending, borrowing, investing, saving, budgeting and the wider economy - he helps us understand where we are in our own financial cycle and how to achieve financial security.

Really good book. Was well balanced with all advice. Much is obvious but still good advice. Not too long. Downside is written in 07/08. Different world in 2023.

Good book, good honest and balanced info

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Almost - it's only 3 or so hours long

Any additional comments?

A great collection of financial knowledge, delivered in the no-nonsense style you expect from Bannatyne. I felt like it reminded me of a lot of things I already knew, but also taught me how to think about money in ways I never have before, such planning long-term investments and devising a lifetime strategy for managing your finances.

A great mixture of basics and advanced knowledge

There's some good advice in this audio book but my advice would be to just listen to it from the sidelines. By that I mean just extract the bits that are valuable to you. Many of the principles Duncan discusses are sound but others are just his personality coming out. If you're read his biography you'll know he doesn't like paying for expert advice which works for him I guess but his attitude in general doesn't fit with me.

Basic but good
