Publisher's Summary

THE ALL-TIME NUMBER ONE AUSTRALIAN BEST SELLER 

This is the only money guide you'll ever need.

That's a bold claim, given there are thousands of finance books on the shelves. 

Yet there’s a reason this book is in one in every 20 Australian homes.

You’ll find out how to create an entire financial plan that is so simple you can sketch it on the back of a serviette...and you'll be able to manage your money in 10 minutes a week. 

The Barefoot Steps stand the test of time. In this classic edition, you’ll get the skinny on:

  • Saving up a six-figure house deposit in 20 months 
  • Doubling your income using the 'Trapeze Strategy' 
  • Saving $77,641 on your mortgage and wiping out almost seven years of payments 
  • Handing your kids (or grandkids) a $140,000 cheque on their 21st birthday 
  • Why you don't need $1 million to retire...with the 'Donald Bradman Retirement Strategy'

Sound too good to be true? It's not. 

This book is full of stories from everyday Aussies — single people, young families, empty nesters, retirees — who have applied the Barefoot Steps, freed themselves from crippling debt and achieved amazing, life-changing results. 

And you're next. 

Scott Pape is the Barefoot Investor.

Since 2002, he’s reached millions of Australians through his email newsletter, national weekend newspaper columns, appearances on TV and radio and his bestselling books, The Barefoot Investor (2016) and The Barefoot Investor for Families (2018).

He has worked with the heads of government, schools across the country, AFL and NRL teams, bushfire survivors, and some of the most vulnerable people in our community.

In 2020, Scott was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for ‘service to the community and to financial education’.

Scott gave up his financial services license in 2020 to become a volunteer financial counsellor.

He lives in country Victoria with his wife, Liz, and their four children on their family

farm and is often seen belting around in an old ute that doesn’t need to be locked.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Good for Australians

Good general book but not very applicable for Canadians. He has some good broad concepts if that’s what you are looking for

Universal steps for financial success.

Good suggestions, even though we don't have the same retirement savings structures or government plans. I've rearranged a few of my day to day financial steps to include some of his ideas.
Well written and humorous..
