Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Here's a new one--investment for the hard-up, profits for the penniless, money for nothing. Possibly your kicks for free too. The Motley Fool have an enviable habit of coming up with the right book at the right time, and here they've hit on the perfect title too. With mainstream media promising to do for personal finance what it has already done for DIY and gardening, investment is hot on the cultural agenda and poised to sweep like wildfire through a population primed on IPOs and high-tech stocks.
Of course, the Fools are stretching the truth. If you can't flash the cash, you can forget about nurturing that millionaire portfolio. How to Invest When You Don't Have Any Money is about manoeuvring your finances into a position where investment spend is supportable, it's not a magic formula for rags to riches fairytales--only the final third addresses how to go about investing when that holy grail of financial control has been attained. So, it's clearing debt, "gleaning cash by constricting your money outflow" and boosting income in whatever ways possible--legal propriety observed always. Here, for the first time, we have Fool-style career development, Fools on footwear and the Motley line on food. The science of penny-pinching has a tendency to be unintentionally hilarious and at times visions of the Motley Scrooge loom large ("You won't find me splashing out on bells for my jangly hat") but then it's only a means to an end. How to Invest When You Don't Have Any Money could be just the thing to get you there. --Iain Campbell
Product Description
To many people investing money may seem ridiculous, but it is possible and the Fools, in a light-hearted and humorous style, are here to help those with restricted income to set their priorities for paying off debts, to learn before they rush into anything and to start without using professionals and without being baffled by jargon.

To coin a phrase "Doh", this book could have saved me thousands of pounds if I had only read it ten years ago. On the upside however, it has pointed me in the direction of the 'fool' and given me pause for thought. I think this definetly makes it worth six quid of anyone's (even my) money. The style of writing is an antidote to the mumbo jumbo spouted by many TV adverts, financial advisers and other members of the wise, but I think that it could easily become a little wearing over time. I have browsed the website and found the fool schools thereon at least as valuable as this book has been, perhaps even more so. I look forward to reading the UK investment guide but from the reviews I can't wait to delve into the Zulu principal too. All in all excellent work and a real eye opener for those of us whose brains have been hypnotised into apathetic compliance by the wise.

I thought this was an excellent book. The book is split into two parts one for those in debt, one for those who aren't.
If you are in debt and want to do something about it the steps in here WILL get you out, but you have to follow it to the letter.
For those who want to take control of there money now and for the future. You can do no better than this book.
