Found this helpful for a post-Covid, post-barefoot investor era, to remind and refresh myself on the basics of finance in Australia. Have and will be applying most of the advice for this book. I personally find some of the wealth creation and investment suggestions morally unethical, but overall has a great message about managing finance for basic survival over a lifetime.
