5.0 out of 5 starsFor real: The only money book you need
Reviewed in Australia on 21 November 2017
I never buy financial advice guides because I dont see the value in contributing to an already wealthy persons bank account. the Barefoot Invester is my one exception. I purchased this in January 2017 having returned from overseas 12mths earlier with no savings + multiple debts + my car as only assert. Its now November 2017 and I have saved a home deposit (admittedly not 20%) + $3,000 savings + $2000 buffer. Most of my savings and payments are now automatic and I know as a single woman on just below average wage I dont need to worry about bills.

I cant reccommend this book highly enough for anyone wanting practical and achievable advice.

1.0 out of 5 starsIf You Want to Retire Wealthy - Don't Buy This Book
Reviewed in Australia on 22 May 2020
If you want to work hard all your life until you reach retirement age, own your own home and retire with a small income to supplement the govt pension then this book offers a pathway to achieve mediocrity.

However if you want to retire youngish, and not rely on the govt, because you have enough wealth to support yourself and family in your latter years, then the advise given in this book will ensure you fail.

The author has a narrow and limited understanding of how money works, and lacks both the foresight and insight to advise on any asset classes other than his beloved stock market.

Very well-written, clear and highly practical guide to help you manage your money! The world would look very different, if there would be more people like Scott Pape, the author of this book: loyal, honest, generous, trustworthy, committed to provide for loved ones and help others. Thanks Scott Pape! What a great book! I recommend everyone to read this book!

Never did i think I'd read a book on finances but I did and enjoyed it. Straight talking without being simple this was a comprehensive read without any obvious agenda. Well written.
