Martin Lewis' Money Diet

It is nearly impossible to live in the UK without knowing who Martin Lewis (“the money saving expert”) is. I count myself as one of his million fans who follow him series after series of his successful tv programs “Make me rich” and the latest “It pays to watch!”.

If you need to sort out your finances his book is for you. In his particular style Martin advises on how to save money still keeping your lifestyle. The book is full of practical advice, easy to understand even if you don’t have a clue about your numbers.

His advice covers topics such as how to organise your credit cards, get the best mortgage deals, pay the bills and find the cheapest utilities’ companies, which banks to use. According to the printed book it can help an average family to save up to £6000 a year and, in fact, in some cases I can believe it.

Martin Lewis talks about “forgetting our loyalties” How many of us stick with the same provider without checking the competition just because it is easier, comfortable or because we have always been with that company? Yes, most of us. Martin Lewis makes a wakeup call to check the competition and to keep slashing the bills.

Have you ever heard of “Pay back sites”? so many of us hadn’t. Martin advices on sites where you can get the service you where already going to pay for, but in this case “being paid for taking it through this websites” in other words “they actually pay you back, part of the money you were going to spend anyway”.

The Money Diet: The Ultimate Guide to Shedding Pounds Off Your Bills and Saving Money on Everything! is a book you just can't afford to miss. The author is awesome regarding his professionalism and his practical advice (the guy knows his stuff). His website has over one million visits a month, can you beat that? There is nothing more you can add until you read the book and you tell us how much how you saved this year. Go for it!

Dave Ramsey’s Total money makeover

I just decided to include a second review that might help some readers to give that important step and kick into action.

The Total Money Makeover: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness is a step by step book that will guide you through the process of becoming debt free. The book offers a complete plan to get out of debt and achieve your financial goals. It includes useful worksheets, charts and graphs to follow the seven steps plan of this financial guru.

For those, that find their way hard and become discouraged, the book comes full of inspiring stories from people like you who either are on their way or have succeeded following Ramsey’s plan. If the label “financial book” turns you off, this book is the exception.

The book is easy to read, easy to understand, full of useful strategies and solid advice with a common sense approach. It is so encouraging that so many have already turned their lives around following Dave Ramsey’s advice.
Dave Ramsey (radio talk show host, bestselling author and exceptional financial guru) will give you the push that you need to get into action and accomplish your goals.
