    It's about £20 for a copy, imagine it can save most new investors £££££, sometimes it's worth paying for something! :D

    I'd argue it's good for any investor

    Even for those starting late and with only minimal amounts to invest?

    Absolutely - one of the first things you'll read is how investing for a decent retirement income requires regular, meaningful payments to make it work :p

    £100 not £100K!!!! Lol I wish I had £100K to invest!
    Been looking at my budget and I should be flush but I have it spread all over the place!

    Once I get debt free by June I'm going to have to sort out what I'm going to do with my money. At the moment I have all these plans but I can't do them all at once.
