Seven Myths About Money

byRob Dix, Rob Dix (Read by)

And the Truth About Finding Financial Freedom

Everything you have been told about money is wrong.

Have you ever been told that cutting down your spending holds the key to making money?
Or that compound interest will mean that your savings only ever grow in value?
Or that only a fool would try to 'beat the market' by investing in specific companies?


Most of us have heard these truisms from friends, from family, even from financial advisers. They are held up as nuggets of timeless wisdom. There's just one problem: none of them are true.

Over the course of ten years' research, financial expert Rob Dix has learnt that most of the received wisdom about making money isn't just misleading: it's flat out wrong. Here, he debunks seven of the most misleading myths we're told about earning, saving and investing - and shows that the true path to financial freedom is dramatically different to what you've been told.

Seven Lies About Money reveals that you don't need a trust fund, a side hustle, or an instinctive knack for picking the winning stock to get ahead. You just need to see through the lies you've heard about money, and get to know the truth.

This is a masterpiece. I have repeatedly found that most conventional financial advice is bang on the money - provided you were born in 1958, and started following it in 1971. But things have changed. This is the book I want my children to read.
