Is it still possible to plan for the future, to protect your family, to save for a new home, to make provision for retirement?
Eamonn Fingleton and Tom Tickell assure us that it is, and here they explain the ground rules of sensible private money management in a period when single-figure inflation is already a fond memory.
They set out briefly and simply the basic principles of banking, saving, life insurance. house buying, tax and pensions with much useful advice and hints on where to find yet more, but with candid warnings about who stands to profit most from your taking it.
But they also offer much needed help on assessing your overall situation and choosing the right priorities, whether you are old or young, in good health or bad, with or without dependants, getting richer or poorer.
The intricacies and uncertainties of family finance have changed a lot in recent years: this is your guide to making the best of your situation now.
