RICH ENOUGH?
A laid-back finance guide for every Kiwi
THE CAUTIONARY TALE OF KING MIDAS – whose foolish wish for 'The Golden Touch' left him lonely, hungry, and miserable – is well-known to many. All too late, he realised that ‘cold hard cash’ was no substitute for the true riches in life. But that lure of ‘Gold, Gold, GOLD!’ still persists today – in our fascination with the exploits of billionaires … in our adoration of social media influencers and their gilded lives … and (closer to home) in our endless striving to ‘keep up with the Joneses.’
Turns out, like that mythical king, we’re also obsessed with wealth! So, when we read the title of Kiwi finance guru Mary Holm’s latest book – ‘RICH ENOUGH?’ – our curiosity was aroused. And here’s the good news: whether you’re drowning in debt, scraping by from one payday to the next, or wondering if you’ll ever know what ‘rich enough’ feels like, Mary’s time-tested tips will help you improve your financial outlook.
