Blurb This is the only money guide you will ever need. That's a bold claim, given there are already thousands of finance books on the shelves. So what makes this one different? Well, you won't be overwhelmed with a bunch of 'tips'... or a strict budget (that you won't follow). You'll get a step-by-step formula: open this account, then do this; call this person, and say this; invest money here, and not there. All with a glass of wine in your hand. You'll get the skinny on: - Saving up a six-figure house deposit in 20 months - Doubling your income using the 'Trapeze Strategy' - Saving $77,641 on your mortgage and wiping out almost 7 years of payments - Handing your kids (or grandkids) a $140,000 cheque on their 21st birthday - Why you don't need $1m to retire... with the Donald Bradman Retirement Strategy' Sound too good to be true? It's not. This book is full of stories from everyday Aussies - single people, young families, empty-nesters, retirees - who have applied the simple steps in this book and achieved amazing, life-changing results. And you're next.
