Review: We all know that we need to save more of our money, in fact we needed to start saving yesterday. The hard part is making saving part of your life, and finding a way to make your money work better for you.

A Man is not a Financial Plan by Joan Baker, is a book that demystifies the jargon of how, where and why to invest. The title of the book suggests the idea that some women still think that finding a wealthy man is a way to achieve financial success in their lives. Half their luck if it happens, for the rest of us wealth is created through saving and investment, and this book explains how to go about doing that.

The book outlines the important processes of how wealth is created, budgeting, managing risk, borrowing, how and why to diversify, off shore investment and property investment. There are charts to help to explain concepts, and it touches on how to change current behaviors and spending habits.

The power is of course, in the application of the concepts into your life. The premise of the book is absolutely correct, everyone should have some sort of financial plan. Whether you find a wealthy man or not.
