She grew up in the West Country and studied PPE at the University of Warwick before moving to East London. Fast forward some months and I’ve learnt a lot through reading books, attending events and joining Facebook groups. While many in the FI community believe that this is suboptimal, Whateley is of the opposite conviction.

While this is not a book we have heard of, we have, at a reader’s request, decided to have a look at what is covered and who might benefit from it. This book is so good that I think everyone in the UK should own a copy and be encouraged to read it annually. And maybe it wouldn’t have been so many years if I hadn’t suspected they’d make me talk to her again, haha! It's seperated into step by step chapters which make it easy to navigate and useful if you're looking for specific help. We press 'cash only' at ATMs, and accept that we'll be paying back our student loans with our pension savings.From a personal perspective, much of the information I was already aware of thanks to being pretty interested in personal finance anyway, but Whateley's book serves as an easily digestible, vital read for anyone interested in setting themselves up for better personal financial management (and without falling into the trap of demanding you cut out every bit of 'fun' spending as some personal finance hawks do). The author frequently repeats how difficult and unpleasant saving and investing is, and how she would much rather spend her money on consumer goods. This isn't a bad book but I just feel that some of it was pitched at people who really had no idea about the simplest of things.

Despite being a professional with a useful degree, I didn’t actually know much about money outside of my pay cheque, PAYE taxes and my savings account. Not always what you want in a book, but in January I tend to be able to face money and the future a bit better.

She also specialises in affordable travel, property, and interiors for The Times and has written for The Sunday Times, the Guardian, the Observer, Dow Jones and Moneywise magazine. There was even a very interesting part of the book where the author explains some ideas on how to talk about money with your significant other and how it is rarely talked about that really opened my eyes. Whateley acknowledges that previous generations had a much more defined structure: the man went to work and paid for life, while the woman stayed at home and looked after the household. Recomiendo el libro “El camino simple a la riqueza” para quien quiera algo que vaya en la misma linea y mas completo. A *very* useful guide for someone as financially illiterate as me, and a really great primer on all things money - pensions, investing, mortgages, taxes etc.I was keen to learn more about finances, budgeting and savings and heard this book was a great, easy-to-understand guide to learn more about money. Whateley looks at saving as a necessary evil, not something that can enhance your life and encourage you to decouple happiness from spending.
