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
