How to Fund the Life You Want: What everyone needs to know about savings, pensions and investments (Second Edition)

*WINNER OF THE WORK & LIFE BUSINESS BOOK AWARD 2023*

"This is such a valuable guide to DIY investing, I recommend you make this book your first investment."
Claer Barrett, Consumer Editor, Financial Times

The second, updated edition of the award-winning and accessible guide to personal finance that busts myths, clarifies jargon and provides the best options for building your wealth.

Increasingly more people are reassessing their lives as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, with many resolving to work only as long as they must – retiring early to focus on families and friends, hobbies or travel.

Making the most of these choices requires having and growing enough money to enjoy your future life, without needing to worry about it running out. But when it comes to investing in a pension, there is a dizzying number of complex options available.

This book is designed to provide clear, objective guidance that cuts through the jargon, giving you control over your financial future. Robin Powell and Jonathan Hollow strip away the marketing-speak, and through simple graphs, charts and diagrams, provide an evidence-based money manual that you can use again and again. They also alert you to myths and get-rich-quick schemes everyone should avoid.
