Clawing Back from Financial Ruin

Announcement posted by Power of Words 17 Mar 2015

An ebook for the average Aussie saver and investor
Do Australians really know the traps to avoid when planning for a wealthy retirement, or are they too willing to fall for the gloss?
Jennifer Lancaster’s new ebook, How to Control your Financial Destiny, reveals the pitfalls of putting trust in every financial planner, stockbroker, or property salesperson out there.  In the five years to 2013, it’s estimated that up to $15 billion worth of investments were lost in ill-planned investment schemes, especially mortgage funds.

With the financial industry so full of broken promises and ill-gotten gains, who are we to trust?  Jennifer writes: “you are likely better off seeing yourself as CEO of your own finances… providing you further your financial education and keep up-to-date.”

Without dwelling too much on the negative side, this book goes on to educate the investing novice in areas such as: building wealth through leveraging; what to look for in shares; Listed Investment Companies and ETFs; superannuation, and the property versus shares debate. 

The book also looks at the many myths surrounding an investor mindset, including the old chestnut, “I’ll wait till I win Lotto”. It shares simple things anyone can do to improve their income and keep more of their pay, so that he or she is able to invest later.
