Take control of your personal finances with this concise, timely and indispensable guide from acclaimed money expert Laura Whateley.

Ten years on from the financial crash, and we are still bad with money. We press ‘cash only’ at ATMs and accept that we’ll be paying back our student loans with our pension savings.

Money: A User’s Guide cuts through all the panic of personal finances. It will teach you how to get a great credit score and how to save hundreds on bills and offers practical advice on every difficult conversation you’ve been avoiding including:

  • Housing (for renters and buyers)
  • Student Loans
  • Pensions
  • Paying off debt
  • Stocks and shares
  • Ethical investments
  • Money and mental health
  • Money and love

This essential book will give you the confidence and clarity to take back control of your bank account, enabling you to thrive in all areas of your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn how to save for the future you want

Did not know this book was going to use facts based in Europe but nonetheless I learned a lot about what I should do and how to plan for the future. There was even a very interesting part of the book where the author explains some ideas on how to talk about money with your significant other and how it is rarely talked about that really opened my eyes.

Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2019
I'm an American and a millennial and am so glad I found this book. It has such helpful advice and I feel like I have a better handle on my money. I feel more knowledgeable and confident! Some chapters are kind of UK centric but overall I got a lot out of it.

Idk if I am just dumb or what but I had no idea when purchasing this that everything was going to be in euros and about the UK??? Had to return since it doesn't apply to me in the US :/ looks like good content though if you are in UK....

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for UK readers!
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2019
Such a great book, with some fantastic money principles. The only downside for American/Non-UK readers is that a pretty good chunk of the text pertains to processes particular to the UK. It does have some great advice for everybody, though, if you're willing to glaze over those specific areas.

3.0 out of 5 stars This book is about money management in the UK. Not the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!

This book would be amazing if it had a US version. It’s pretty insightful for people in the UK. However there are plenty of tips an American could use of course.

3.0 out of 5 stars No recomiendo comprarlo si no vivis en UK
Reviewed in Spain on June 22, 2023

El libro está bien pero es bastante basico y tuve que saltear demasiadas secciones porque no aplican al pais donde vivo.
Hay otros libros de finanzas personales que son menos enfocados en el pais del autor. Claramente siempre va a tener algo de influencia el lugar de residencia del autor, pero en este caso me pareció que no llegaba a justificar la compra del libro, ni por las secciones que si podian llegar a aplicarse a mi situación viviendo en España.
Creo que podria haber ahondado en el tema inversiones, o dar consejos mas profundos sobre como ahorrar y administrar el dinero, creo que lo que menciona de esos temas se aprende en la vida cotidiana facilmente, quiza seria mas util el libro para alguien que nunca tuvo un trabajo ni se independizó, alguien que nunca haya pagado cuentas, o que no haya tenido cuentas bancarias, etc.
Una lastima, tenia altas expectativas del libro pero para mi se queda corto. Recomiendo el libro “El camino simple a la riqueza” para quien quiera algo que vaya en la misma linea y mas completo.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Book. Absolutely Fantastic.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 11, 2021

This book is so good that I think everyone in the UK should own a copy and be encouraged to read it annually. I also think that this book should be included within the high school curriculum for those in year 10 and 11, it would certainly be far more beneficial to young people who are about to start out in the world than subjects like history and geography.

I am in my late 30's, run a business and have always felt well informed when it comes to money, however I have learned so much from reading this book that it has quite literally changed the way I think on many money related issues. After finishing the book I quite literally feel like I have just finished a year at college and passed the final exam with flying colours.

As well as the practical benefits of this book, which are many, the book is thoroughly enjoyable, extremely interesting and very very well written. The book is so well written that I think everyone who reads this book will benefit from it regardless of their level of education. The book is so good that I have also downloaded the audiobook to listen when driving.

I am extremely grateful to Laura Whateley for writing this book and then taking the time to update it.

UK based but the concepts can easily be converted into your own nation’s currency. Great guide to money and answers the first questions one may have when diving into the topic.
