Description
The 7 Secrets of Money exposes the hidden truths around money that the financial establishment has for too long kept to itself. Written by four well-respected finance professionals, it gives you a clear path to build your investments and meet your life goals. The approach is simple: focus your energies on things you can control - such as saving, spending, costs, taxes and sound financial planning, only taking risks that you know will be rewarded. This places you, the investor, firmly in control of your financial future.
