Summary: Scott Page had been through total financial loss where he lost his house and all possessions through bush-fire. This major and traumatic event highlighted how unprepared for life and understanding and managing money he was. Scott outlines his formula for financial success irrespective of your income levels or wants and desires. He states that if followed, personal financial success is just about guaranteed.
Thoughts: This is a little different to the books I normally read and review but I was fascinated how Scott’s plan works and how we call all afford to “live well” and “save well”. His methods are simple, solid and quite down to earth and his delivery style very entertaining and very easy to read and digest. He does emphasize the “date nights” which he insists you do but if you’re are already organised, a little disciplined and self-motivated, a “formal” and deliberate session with your partner (or on your own if single) will achieve the same result. Clarity of goals, clear understanding of your current situation and implementation of Scott’s 3 simple steps (Plant, Grow, Harvest) and consistency of action should have you financially successful and be ready for just about anything. This is worth a read even if you think you already have your home finances under control.
