Research shows that as many as 75% of people in the UK worry about their financial situation. (Source: The Independent).

In America, 25% of people say they worry about money “all the time”. (Source: CNBC).

It need not be like this! We created this Plain English guide to address this problem head on

“Live on less, invest the rest” picks up where Andrew Craig’s No. 1 best-seller, “How to Own the World” leaves off.

Andrew’s new workbook is a companion text to his original best-seller and to the Plain English Finance online Community. The book embeds what we have learned from that group over the last several years.

“Live on less, invest the rest” is the evolution of a document called the “Complete Guide” which members of our Community have received for free since 2014 when joining that group. In that time, Andrew and the rest of the Plain English Finance team have been able to see all the various questions and concerns that are most regularly raised by our members.

“Live on less…” is a reaction to those questions and an attempt to summarise the answers as succinctly as possible in one place.

Topics covered include:

  • How you can find the money to invest.
  • Paying off any expensive debt you may have.
  • Saving up a “rainy day” pot to cover you in a crisis.
  • Setting up the right investment accounts such as ISAs and pensions.
  • Simple investment strategies you might consider.
  • Sensible asset allocation based on your age.
  • Annual housekeeping and valuable Further Resources.

Investment need not be that complicated – it is just that most people never learn anything about it. The approach outlined in “Live on less, invest the rest…” should give you the confidence to sort your finances out once and for all. For most people, this is a huge relief and one of life’s great problems solved.

The book can work as a stand-alone product but is ideally designed to work hand in hand with our live and interactive online Community.

With this in mind, there is a promo’ code in the back of the book which gives you one month of free access to that group if you purchase a copy (access is usually £5 a month).

…Or you can do it the other way around - in that anyone joining our group receives a free digital copy. This gives you the chance to experience the benefits of the group whether you’re the sort of person who prefers a print or a digital copy.

Our fervent hope is that the approach outlined in “Live on less, invest the rest” could very well help you make a five, six or even seven figure difference to your net worth over the long run.

Anyone who wants to own their finances and not have it control you will enjoy this book. Andrew has laid out the approach you could take in plain English. I think this book should be a must-read for anyone who owns a bank account. It’s a quick read but I will be reading it again and again as I get to different stages in my finance journey.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could have been great

Could be an awesome read but seriously, the author keeps referring to his other book in 30% of this one. Good for beginners and worth the money but you could probably get more from the “How to own the World” instead. It was in my basket but after reading this one I need a long break from seeing this title again.

I heard Andrew on a podcast and bought his books straight after. They're a goldmine of information and a 'must read' in my opinion.

Well set-out, everyday language, states the all-too-elusive obvious, - that's the sort of guidance we all need rather than looking for the buried messages and complicated ethereal formulas.
Have already passed on my copy to one person and have a couple more lined up waiting their turn (frugality has never been a sin here).
Thank you and look forward to now reading the updated 'How to Own the World' reckon Dale Carnegie had the right idea...
