Everything you've been told about money is wrong. This book tells the truth.

Everything you have been told about money is wrong.

Have you ever been told that cutting down your spending holds the key to making money?
Or that compound interest will mean that your savings only ever grow in value?
Or that only a fool would try to 'beat the market' by investing in specific companies?

Most of us have heard these truisms from friends, from family, even from financial advisers. They are held up as nuggets of timeless wisdom. There's just one problem: none of them are true.

Over the course of ten years' research, financial expert Rob Dix has learnt that most of the received wisdom about making money isn't just misleading: it's flat out wrong. Here, he debunks seven of the most misleading myths we're told about earning, saving and investing - and shows that the true path to financial freedom is dramatically different to what you've been told.

Seven Lies About Money reveals that you don't need a trust fund, a side hustle, or an instinctive knack for picking the winning stock to get ahead. You just need to see through the lies you've heard about money, and get to know the truth.

Praise for Seven Myths About Money

This is a masterpiece. I have repeatedly found that most conventional financial advice is bang on the money - provided you were born in 1958, and started following it in 1971. But things have changed. This is the book I want my children to read.

Rory Sutherland, author of ALCHEMY

This brilliant book doesn’t just debunk the most common misconceptions people have about money. It also reveals how to really build wealth – no luck, inherited fortune or business genius required. It’s the one-stop guide you need to transform your finances.

Jake Humphrey, author of HIGH PERFORMANCE

A brilliant read that is equally engaging, informative and accessible. This book will make you revisit, reconsider and maybe even refresh your thinking on some of the things you always thought you knew about money and investing.

Jack Meaning, co-author of CAN’T WE JUST PRINT MORE MONEY?

A lively take on modern money management from a gifted storyteller, filled with intriguing financial predictions.

Claer Barrett, author of WHAT THEY DON’T TEACH YOU ABOUT MONEY

A very important book . . . All too many millions of us are sleep-walking towards a worryingly impoverished future. Reading Seven Myths About Money will go some way to helping you avoid suffering that fate.
