Publisher's Synopsis
Creating wealth is about making your money work for you - instead of you working for it. This guide to personal investment and daily money management covers everyday issues such as smart spending and choosing a credit card, as well as strategies for investing and how to make the most of superannuation. As a result of changes to the investment environment - the new personal tax rates and capital gains tax rules, the growing uncertainty of employment and the effect of the "new economy" on traditional investments strategies, for example - it is pertinent to rethink our treatment of money.;The author reveals what she has learned in 15 years of talking to finance professionals and ordinary Australians about their finances, and combines this with tips from Australia's finance experts.
