MEDIA REVIEWS
Pete has shared more financial wisdom with more people than anyone I know. He is not only a credit to our mighty profession, he's a credit to humanity. He's on a selfless pursuit to assist those who are willing to take ownership of their financial futures. Money is invisible and financial success is about working on future problems. Pete brings these subjects to life and caringly tells you what you need to know and more importantly what you need to do. This book is long overdue; it deserves to be a bestseller. - Andy Hart, Maven Adviser and host of the Maven Money Podcast
This is not a book for experts; it is a book for everyone. Pete is a rare breed - an expert who speaks in plain terms. - Chris Budd, Author of The Financial Wellbeing Book and The Eternal Business
As a marketer, I have a career-long obsession with keeping things simple whether it's a product, process or just the language we use in communications. I don't think the financial services industry is any good at this, which is why many people don't think about their finances. A lack of financial education on the school curriculum adds to the problem. Pete Matthew has written the best simple guide to personal finance I've ever read. Not only will it help people of all ages understand and take control of their finances, I think it deserves to become a text book used in schools to give students a financial foundation for their future. - Roger Edwards, Marketing Consultant and host of the Marketing & Finance Podcast
Pete is a personal finance force to be reckoned with and this is THE book you need to get control of your money. Read this book and learn what really matters about money from one of the best personal finance podcasters on the planet. - Martin Bamford, Host of Informed Choice Radio
