A great mixture of basics and advanced knowledge

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Almost - it's only 3 or so hours long

Any additional comments?

A great collection of financial knowledge, delivered in the no-nonsense style you expect from Bannatyne. I felt like it reminded me of a lot of things I already knew, but also taught me how to think about money in ways I never have before, such planning long-term investments and devising a lifetime strategy for managing your finances.

Good book, good honest and balanced info

Really good book. Was well balanced with all advice. Much is obvious but still good advice. Not too long. Downside is written in 07/08. Different world in 2023.

Alot about figures and the english system

I liked this book but really was more amed to the English market in relation to some stuff. All quite relevent and good for people who need help in investment or money or wanting to have advice on saving money etc..

Over all a good book

Basic but good

There's some good advice in this audio book but my advice would be to just listen to it from the sidelines. By that I mean just extract the bits that are valuable to you. Many of the principles Duncan discusses are sound but others are just his personality coming out. If you're read his biography you'll know he doesn't like paying for expert advice which works for him I guess but his attitude in general doesn't fit with me.

Useful for beginners

Maybe I had my hopes up, but this didn't tell me anything I didn't already know! It did remind me of a few financial things, but not really worth the cost of the download. I wish I'd never bothered.

The information provided is the usual basic stuff, like how to borrow money using a loan, a mortgage, secured, unsecured, etc. no real gems which is what I was hoping for...

It also puts a lot of weight behind property investment, again I was hoping for more than this.

On the upside I'm going to ask my 16 year old to take a listen as I wish I'd known some of this when I was that age, whether he'll bother is another matter though.

Sorry Duncan, this gets the big thumbs down from me, I'll wait for my refund....I bet that's going to be a long wait!
