5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute "must buy"!!, 1 Oct 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Your Money or Your Life: A Practical Guide to Solving Your Financial Problems and Affording a Life You'll Love (Paperback)

I bought this book after recently getting married, having decided it was time to sort out our finances, and this book has been a godsend. It tells you the basics of dealing with debt, savings, investments, pensions and so on, which is great. But there are also quizzes and worksheets that really make you address issues like where you want to be in ten years time, what kind of lifestyle you want, and most importantly, how you might pay for it!

Alvin manages to get his message across firmly but without being patronising - if you liked the TV programme, you will find the book similar but more in-depth. I am going to buy copies for two of my friends- i don't want to lend them mine!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical advise where its most needed., 9 Sep 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Your Money or Your Life: A Practical Guide to Solving Your Financial Problems and Affording a Life You'll Love (Paperback)

Money matters is one of the most secretly kept facts in our society, and apart from the colourful ads from financial institutions, we dont get much of expert advice out there (unless you are willing to pay for it).

This book is an oasis! Nice little book with nice little tips to manage your finance. Apart from suggestions on how to get out the debt trap and get hold of your spending, author has also included valuable suggestions on how to go about saving, and even investing! Now, if you are looking for a hot tip on stock trading, you should look elsewhere, as all this book is offering is simple practical advice, that anyone can figure out themselves.

Thanks to Alvin for keeping it this simple and practical. Worth reading. And defenitly worth the money spend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Money bible... for everyone, 1 Sep 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Your Money or Your Life: A Practical Guide to Solving Your Financial Problems and Affording a Life You'll Love (Paperback)

I never really believed in books saving your finances... well, I was completely wrong!

This practical guide should be handed out to all people entering the 'real' world. In my case, I started working 2 years ago and was still struggling to pay credit card bills let alone save money.
First of all this is a very easy and fun book to read. It starts with the basics of money management, controlling your expenses and establishing a budget. You then go on to savings methods, when to start investing and in what as well as a full explanation for all types of insurance, pension plans, mortgages etc. This really is a book you read once, then go through it in details as you go to each step, using the templates and advice
given.

Buying this book was probably the best purchase I've done for a long time. My financial situation is definitively on the right track, and I've just started two types of savings plans.

A basic money management book which will definitely change your life positively once and for all.
