Haha, thanks for the referral - yes absolutely I ALWAYS tell people to get my books out from the library, why on earth anyone would pay $24.95 for a book in Australia is well & truly beyond me...
Agree with many of the comments above.
Sorry, I don't really blog all that much about money-saving tips, because really, apart from using vouchers (of which there are many great options in Sydney), cheap cinema tickets - $11 at Hoyts :-) and reducing major living costs such as house, car, holidays etc...I don't really know what else I can blog about that I didn't already cover in my book.
As someone said above, it's simple...spend less than you earn!
Plus I'm a a bit of a finance nerd in truth, so day to day I mainly blog about geeky economics stuff that I find interesting.
I do write more about property than shares, but that's partly because it's my business so I can give more genuine insights, not because I necessarily think property is a better investment than shares - both asset classes have their time & place.
Finally, as for where our offices are located, our clients buy property around W1 and in inner Sydney, so it wouldn't really work to have an office east of Dagenham or west of Penrith...
Admittedly I fly business class these days as I have to zip back & forth to London quite a lot, but I'm old now (37 this year) & reckon I've earned it...but one thing I can say with absolute confidence is that if you do it the other way by spending hard when you're younger, it will be a long hard career in the workforce trying to get ahead!
Cheers, great resource this.

P.S. I subscribe to Barefoot as well & I sometimes don't get the stories either, but Scott seems to be a switched on guy, looking forward to seeing his "live investing" thing in action.
