    This book is just superb. It makes money management easy to understand. It made me change the way I deal with my money and to become proactive. I had worried about what to do with my savings. I read it twice in one week, it was so enlightening. I knew the options, and they weren't scary! I now own unit trusts and shares. Buy it, it's really, really good!

    This book will change the way you think about your finances.

    As someone whose investment knowledge went no further than a few privatisation shares and a savings account, this book answered many of the questions I had about how I could make my money work harder.

    The explanation of compound interest had me going "why didn't I start earlier!" The explanation of personal pensions and annuities had me ready to lynch and old financial adviser; and various other revelations had me astounded at how the wool had been pulled over my eyes so easily ( by 'The Wise' ie: the community of professional financial advisers).

    I tested some of The Fool's recommendations for personal finance by asking some 'Wise' people their opinions. They all did exactly what The Fool said they would do: try to talk me out of it. Why? Because I was taking control of my finances and they had a higher commission earning product to sell me (which, by implication, means a lower investment return for me).

    Read this book before you make another decision about anything financial (a mortgage, pension or unit trust especially).

    Most people are confused about personal finance, and as this book asserts 'that's the way the finance industry wants it to stay'. However, with the advent of the internet and the information age, all that is about to change. And this book shows you how for years people have been sold products with a poor return on any money you may have put in. And this includes pensions, endownment mortgages and shares investments. With lots of essential information and with links to the motley fool website this book leads you through pensions, ISA's, share investing and loads more. It shows you how to get the best deal, and why Index Trackers and ISA's are you fairy godmothers in investing. It's all written in a 'matey matey' style that is easy to digest. It's like having an old friend offering a guiding hand through the finance maze. This is the best book I have ever read on this subject. It will save you loads of money and you should own it!!
