Description
'Everyone will find something they didn't know in this unexpectedly funny womb-to-tomb guide to looking after your money in Britain today - the laws, the loopholes, the pitfalls, and who to call if it all goes wrong' - The Telegraph
Manage your money, manage your life.
In a time of such economic uncertainty, it has never been more important to take control of your money. For over 40 years, Money Box has been arming you with the most up-to-date knowledge, giving you the confidence to take on the financial world.
From understanding credit cards and buying your first flat to investing, relationships and finance, and will writing, Paul Lewis' Money Box gives you the tools to balance your budget, grow your bank balance and live a better financial life.
Paul answers all of your questions, breaking down complicated financial jargon into simple, understandable nuggets of useful information. He also shows you how to beat the banks at their own game, and treat the finance industry not like a friend, but more like a vague acquaintance you don't really trust, but have to see from time to time (and who always makes you pay for the drinks).
