Home Truths About Money
Author: Sylvia Walker
Format: Paperback
Candid advice for creating personal wealth
We live in a world of information overload, and it can be challenging knowing what’s real and what’s not. When it comes to money, social media is littered with 'finfluencers' who present information and share ‘secrets’ to managing and growing money. Some of it is real; a lot of it is fake, and it can be very difficult to know the difference.
Home Truths About Money goes back to basics. It strips away the slick social media veneer and addresses the bare-bone facts about money – the home truths that we may not want to face. It covers issues such as: money can make you happy; having lots of money doesn’t make you rich; DIY investing isn’t easy; money can grow on trees if you plant the right seeds; your retirement plan will never be perfect; you won’t get rich putting your money in bank account; and married people end up wealthier in the long run.
Having a healthy relationship with money is a crucial life skill. To get there, you must understand how money works and how it intertwines with our lives. Irrespective of your age, income or social standing, you need to invest the time before you start investing your money. These home truths are relatable across the board and create a powerful platform for financial success.
