Wealth by Design

A proven, easy-to-follow blueprint for creating wealth your way, to live a life free from financial stress on your terms.

A blueprint for creating wealth your way

Many people earn well for decades and still do not build much wealth. Not because they lack intelligence, but because surplus cash flow leaks away, investing becomes sporadic, and emotion takes over when markets move.

Wealth by Design gives you a repeatable, evidence-based system for building long-term wealth – a ‘wealth operating system’ – grounded in how compounding works in practice, and how real people behave under fear, greed, and uncertainty. Don’t leave your financial future to chance; follow the eight rules in this informative and practical book and design the future lifestyle that you desire:

• Rule 1 | Think in decades, not days
• Rule 2 | Know how much income you need and by when
• Rule 3 | Build a savings engine that runs on autopilot
• Rule 4 | Focus on growth, then introduce more liquidity and reduce gearing
• Rule 5 | Adopt a value-aware asset allocation
• Rule 6 | Invest in shares in an evidence-based way
• Rule 7 | Only own property with enduring, scarce, and growing demand
• Rule 8 | Remove as much risk as possible.
