"The Smart Guide to Money" is authoritative, full of information, entertaining and funny - the finance book that everyone has been waiting for. It cuts through the hype and find the facts about money - the tips, the tricks and the pitfalls.
James Walker is a finance journalist with over 10 years’ experience in economics and investment. After becoming frustrated when trying to make sense of some of his own finances he realised that if he, a financial commentator, was struggling, where does everybody else turn? So he’s written a book that explains how people like all of us - real people with bills to pay, loans to manage, and maybe some savings to invest - can be smart about their finances. It doesn’t have to be hard; there’s no need to change your lifestyle in order to pay your bills. "The Smart Guide to Money" gives all the information you need to decide exactly how to approach your money management.
In his accessible, witty style, James covers the golden rules of investment, how to beat the banks, the best ways to approach loans and super, and how to avoid scams and rip-offs. He’s also interviewed some well-known Australians such as Steve Waugh about their views on money matters and how they manage their finances.
