Sort Your Money Out & Get Invested will ensure you gain profitable returns in yourself and your understanding about money, mindset, behaviours and investing. It’s time to learn how to develop a money mindset, and to solve your money problems.
The 372-page book is an anthology of thoughts and methods of doing things that will give you the tools to win in all areas of your finances.
Former financial adviser and host of the ‘my millennial money’ podcast Glen James shares a life-changing approach to the major milestones of your personal finances, such as dealing with debt, embracing a realistic spending plan that works, buying your first home, investing in shares and creating the plan you need for long-term financial success.
You’ll get the accessible and friendly help you need to get smart with your money. This will then equip you with the skills and tools to understand and secure your financial future, invest in a property, in shares and in yourself.
James says: “I understand that my way of doing things may not be the silver bullet you’re after, but it’s a way that works and will work for most people. The trick is to live purposefully with your money and to have a system in place that works for you and your particular personality style”.
He shows you how to “set up your personal finances, how to invest for your future (and teach you enough that you will feel empowered and be informed to make your own decisions); set up your financial life from the ground up so you can build it in the right order.”
With diagrams and photos, the resources sections at the end of each chapter prove to be useful reference tools.
