The Barefoot Investor: The Only Money Guide You’ll Ever Need
Author: Scott Pape
Sonya’s Review: A friend gave me this book to read in a hard copy and at the time I couldn’t get it on audible so I started reading it on the plane when I was travelling once. Most books make be fall asleep, which is why I listen to them instead 🙂 BUT this book kept me rivieted for the whole 3.5 hours that I was on the plane.
I then brought it for all my family for Christmas, joined a facebook group of other people reading it and generally told everyone about it. 🙂 I have had friend buy the book for the family as well 🙂
Like most of my books, this is a guide to changing some part of your life, and this is about your finances. Read it, follow it and have success 🙂
As you can guess, definitely a MUST read type of book 🙂

Publisher’s Summary
Fully revised and updated for the 2019-2020 financial year
This is the only money guide you’ll ever need.
That’s a bold claim, given there are already thousands of finance books on the shelves.
So what makes this one different?
Well, you won’t be overwhelmed with a bunch of “tips” or a strict budget (that you won’t follow).
You’ll get a step-by-step formula: open this account, then do this; call this person, and say this; invest money here and not there. All with a glass of wine in your hand.
This book will show you how to create an entire financial plan that is so simple you can sketch it on the back of a serviette…and you’ll be able to manage your money in 10 minutes a week.
You’ll also get the skinny on:
- Saving up a six-figure house deposit in 20 months
- Doubling your income using the Trapeze Strategy
- Saving $78,173 on your mortgage and wiping out seven years of payments
- Finding a financial advisor who won’t rip you off
- Handing your kids (or grandkids) $140,000 checks on their 21st birthdays
- Why you don’t need $1 million to retire…with the Donald Bradman Retirement Strategy
Sound too good to be true? It’s not.
This book is full of stories from everyday Aussies – single people, young families, empty nesters, retirees – who have applied the simple steps in this book and achieved amazing, life-changing results.
