Summary

The essential guide to the basics of personal finance Selected as one of The Sun’s ‘Top Books to Turn the Page on Money Woes’.

Manage money, plan for the future in five simple steps

Becoming your own financial hero is simpler than you think. The principles of financial security have been cloaked in mystery for generations. Money plays a key role in our daily lives, but for many of us, these skills were not taught or developed at a young age.

THE MONEY BASICS: How to Become Your Own Financial Hero is the straightforward, practical guide to money management, based on Peter Komolafe’s innovative and accessible five-step B. A. S. I. C. approach: Budget, Avoid Debt, Save Early, Invest Early and Credit Score.

Anyone can implement these methods, no matter what your financial situation. Learn the principles of financial security by cutting through the murk and jargon.

The Money Basics will:
· Help you identify poor money habits
· Set you on a budgeting plan that works for you
· Demystify financial terms and processes
· Provide you with a system to control debt, not let it control you
· Define investing once and for all
· And more…

Manage money, and plan for the future with confidence. Take control of the one thing that will give you freedom of choice—money.

For beginners only

I can see that this would have been useful at the start of my financial journey. Marked at top score because of that. I wouldn't bother however if you have ever heard of an ISA, let alone know how to use one.

Best Financial Book!!!


The book really goes into depth about saving, investing and making great financial decisions in a easily readable and relatable manner. It provides several examples and guides you into assessing and discovering your own financial situation. It also explores the best steps you can take finacially and presents other important aspects of life such as mental health, relationships, and wellbeing. I have read quite a few financial books and I easily get sidetracked thankfully not this one. Thank you for such valuable financial wisdom

Great book from Pete!

I’ve been following Pete for years on Instagram, YouTube and Spotify so I knew this would be a great read
I was worried initially I wouldn’t learn anything new but very amazing by how much I’ve learnt and the advice given in this book! Very impressed and proud of you! Hoping for a second book soon!
