Down-to-earth saving and investing advice for ordinary people from NZ Herald and syndicated columnist and seminar presenter Mary Holm. The advice is timeless and not tagged to trends. The book is aimed primarily at people who don't read the financial pages - people who might find it hard to save much, or might be a bit intimidated by the sharemarket and who are reluctant to admit that they don't really understand the differences between various mortgage-lending rates.
