    I don't think you really need to look much further than this website. I've read books in the past, but nothing beats Martin Lewis!
  • No you are probably right just thought there might be a book like money for dummies!! lol

    Hey, yeah there probably is. Alvin Hall is a name that springs to mind, why not google him and see.

    They all same the same thing I think. Budget, don't spend more than you earn, get the best savings rate - you know the kind of stuff.

    You probably know more than you're giving yourself credit for. ;)
  • I like Dave Ramsey (American) but it really is just more of the same really. Quite motivating though.
