Description
While few of us would contest the importance of self-sufficiency, not everyone feels ready to proceed with confidence. Moreover, we often do not know to whom we can turn for help. Pensions jargon is formidable. So where do we start? The history of financial fraud and pension mis-selling is littered with incomprehensible policies and plausible rogues. Which is why you should read on. This book is designed to help you to help yourself. Despite all the adverse publicity there are many terrific company schemes and individual plans out there. This book will help you find them. Pension Power will show you how to identify the right type of advice for your needs and explains how to track down the best firm for your requirements. Pension Power takes a robust, no-nonsense approach to the world of pensions and reduces to the level of common sense a process where jargon and obfuscation have for too long been employed in order to justify the remuneration of the incompetant and the unscrupulous.
Reviews / Votes
Praise for Debbie Harrison's books"Debbie Harrison is one of the most knowledgeable writers on investment in the market today and she communicates with great clarity. Her skills are combined in The First Time Investor to provide invaluable assistance to anyone who wants, or needs, to know more about investment."
The Observer
"Debbie Harrison is the best personal finance writer in this country today... Even by Debbie's exceptionally high standards, The Money Zone is an excellent book which tackles subjects many have tackled over the years, but failed to do so in a convincing manner."
Investor's Week
"Debbie Harrison combines an insider's knowledge of investment with an outsider's ability to judge and explain. The First Time Investor is a book for all those daunted by mindless jargon and who are afraid of the unknown."
Financial Times
"Pension Power may well prove to be the most well-rounded and reader-friendly pensions handbook to date."
Pensions World
"The First Time Investor carries all of the Debbie Harrison hallmarks. Precise and clear for the novice, whilst still containing enough for the investor who has a lot more knowledge. Debbie's books are always worth keeping close by for reference."
Anderson
"The Money Zone is a money book for the Freedom Years that's both funky and factual. Packed with career and finance tips but cool enough that you won't have to hide it on the bookshelf."
