Bestselling author and New Zealand's most trusted financial expert on how to make your money work in the real world

A Richer You by Mary Holm is more than just a guide to personal finance; it's a comprehensive approach to understanding and managing money to enrich your life in multiple ways. Rather than focusing solely on amassing wealth, this book delves into the various facets of financial literacy. Holm explores how money interacts with common life events and decisions, providing practical insights and advice for navigating through the complexities of family dynamics, pursuing personal ambitions, managing relationships, and retirement planning.

The author covers essential aspects such as handling house price fluctuations, choosing the right mortgage, and striking a balance in saving practices. Whether you're trying to be braver in retirement, helping children of different ages, or dealing with saving too little or too much, Holm's advice aims to make your financial journey smoother and more fulfilling.

One unique feature of A Richer You is its inclusion of 184 real-life scenarios, drawn from the experiences and lessons of others. These stories serve as both cautionary tales and inspiring success stories, offering valuable insights and lessons that can help you avoid common pitfalls and achieve financial success.

If you're looking for one book to revolutionise your financial understanding and capability, this is it. Mary Holm's practical advice, grounded in real-world examples, will guide you towards making informed decisions and creating a richer, more rewarding financial life.

'If you read one book to help yourself financially this year, make it this one.'
- Jane Wrightson, Commission for Financial Capability
