Critic reviews

‘I was reaping social and valuable financial advice before I’d even finished the first chapter…her experience as a journalist on the money desk for The Times, The Sunday Times and the Guardian allows her to do something that I’d never experienced before: she explains money clearly’. STYLIST
‘Of course, you need a guide to get started and this is that book. Laura Whateley understands her subject and knows how to explain it in such a way that you will be able to make informed choices about your finances, rather than feeling confused and patronised’ THE TIMES

Really pleased to find all this information so well formatted into one book. Full of easy to digest explanations. The mortgage chapter will likely depress the average millennial but a very helpful book for surviving and thriving financially in our current times. Also, a good recap and update on financial information you might already understand. Hope updated versions of this book continue to exist for future generations.
