Managing personal finances is an unavoidable but laborious element of our day-to-day lives. From ISAs and pensions to the stock market and even cryptocurrencies, there are a dizzying number of complex options available to us when it comes to saving and investing our personal wealth. With everyone seeming to have their own opinion on the best options for saving money and boosting your pension (particularly on the internet), the task of deciding where to place your money and how to effectively save it is a difficult one. In How to Fund the Life You Want, the reader will gain clear objective guidance that cuts through the jargon and is adaptable to their personal circumstances. Jonathan Hollow draws upon his vast expertise as a financial expert to provide rational advice backed by academic research while Robin Powell, as a prominent financial journalist and commentator, clarifies how this advice can be applied to your own circumstances to provide growth and security to your personal finances. The authors exhaustively bust the myths and get-rich-quick schemes that pervade across the internet, and clarify the approaches that are likely to lead to solid growth while avoiding excess risk. While such information may be unreliably scattered across the internet, this book provides a comprehensive step-by-step guide and a practical workbook through which the reader can adapt their behaviour and gain the best results. How to Fund the Life You Want a highly practical and refreshingly honest book written by two independent experts who have seen how the investment industry works from the inside, and how it profits from complexity, ignorance and fear. They set out to show in clear and practical terms how you can beat this system and, crucially, make money for yourself, instead of lining the pockets of financial professionals.
