    Invaluable

    This is essential. It turned my financial catastrophe around. I found it accessible, to the point and strangely fun. Also I recommend her website, moneymagpie.com, which is more of the same.

    Boring

    At moments, it seemed to be an audiobook trying to promote and drive traffic to their website.

    Excellent

    Excellent - well delivered, useful information and full details of where to find additional information. I found myself writing notes to look things up after listening. Highly recommended.

    A lot of good tips

    But also a lot of useless ones, like going to the beach and finding free food there.

    Money saving expertise

    There are some particularly good tips on seeing through the insurance and banking scams. Jasmine Birtles is clearly quite irked by the larger financial organizations. And I can't say I blame her.
    If you can get over some of her over-smiley delivery then this has a wealth of truly valuable information.
    Well worth a listen.

    Good, Actionable Tips & Advice

    One of the reassuring things about Jasmine Birtles is that she genuinely wants to help other people.
    If you're in debt then don't go to one of the companies that advertise on TV - there are free charities that will negotiate with your creditors (the people you owe money to) for you.
    What's more there are loads of little things you can do right now to save and make money. They are spelt out in easy, simple steps and they work.
    Brilliant!

    The Moneymagpie

    This is an easy to understand guide to all the money worries everyone has now that the credit crunch is affecting our everyday lives. Get things on the cheap and sort out finances without all the jargon that usually puts us off. Lots of the info is actually on the website for free so you can test it out first...
