Take control of your money

Reduce your mental load

Secure your financial freedom

One month at a time

Twelve Months to Financial Freedom is the essential guide for anyone who wants to get ahead but doesn't have the time or knowledge to do it.

Canna Campbell and Michael Thompson have combined the key lessons from their hit podcast How Do They Afford That? into a comprehensive blueprint for turning around your money situation, no matter where you're starting from. From budgeting to investing to stress-free tax prep, this month-by-month companion breaks down the challenge into twelve easily achievable wins that will set you up for life.

You'll harness the power of passive income, save on the grocery bill, start a side hustle, win a pay rise at work, build up your nest egg and experience a complete shift in your attitude to wealth. This transformative year can bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be.

'A fresh, practical approach to money that feels both empowering and achievable. The perfect companion for anyone ready to build a richer life - not just a bigger bank balance.' Georgie McCourt

'Understanding how to make your money work for you is one of life's most VALUABLE SKILLS (that and knowing how to make a great plate of meatballs) so the more you read, learn and seek to understand, the better equipped you will be. Twelve Months to Financial Freedom is a fabulous read. It is well written, simple to understand and a great guide for building long-term wealth.' Kim McCosker, owner and author of the 4 Ingredients cookbook series
