Author Biography
SCOTT PAPE is the Barefoot Investor. A fiercely independent investment advisor who, for over a decade, has reached millions of Australians through his newspaper columns, and on TV and radio. In 2014 he and his family lost everything in a bushfire...but what they did next� that's the real story.
Written in easy to read language, filled with concise and easy to understand advice for the ordinary person, the Barefoot Investor is exactly what it says on the cover: “the only money guide you’ll ever need”. Buy it for yourself, buy it for your teenage and adult kids. Taking financial control really is possible, and the ability to become financially comfortable and independent - on any income - is laid out in this step by step guide. Best $24 I’ve ever spent.
I find the writer to be a man with a sense of humour, knows what he's talking about and serious about getting people back on there feet, giving them the tools they need to stay on track, it pays to have a laugh through pages keeps the character of the book real and the reader reading without the feeling of being board and want to go to sleep.
The author sets out a realistic achievable plan for those who need guidance. It is fair to say that those who find themselves lost the world of personal finance can benefit enormously by using this as a part of their basic life's financial guide. I wish I had been exposed to this kind of good advice and strategies over the past 40 yrs. My wife and I are now adopting Scott's ideas to our life to try to set ourselves up for a more comfortable stress free retirement in 5 yrs.
My husband was given this book as a Christmas present. He loved it.
It's written in a simple, humorous way and is easy to read with plenty of solid, common sense advice on getting your financial affairs in order - providing many 'ah ha' moments.
The whole family devoured it! Highly recommended!!!
