Five financial wellbeing tips everyone should follow

START PLANNING YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE

Robin Powell and Jonathan Hollow wrote their new book, How to Fund the Life you Want, with the intention of changing lives for the better.

They want people to think about what they really want from life, and to ask themselves questions like, “What is truly important to me?”, and “How do I want to spend whatever time I have left?” Oddly enough, these are issues that many of us just don’t get around to thinking or talking about.

Robin and Jonathan then want people to connect whatever answers people come up with to money, and to start making plans for the future.

The book is published by Bloomsbury and is primarily aimed at a UK audience.
