Robin Powell is a journalist and broadcaster and the editor of the investing and personal finance blog, The Evidence-Based Investor. He is Head of Client Education at RockWealth, an evidence-based financial planning network with offices across the UK. He also campaigns for greater fairness and transparency in the global asset management industry.
Invest Your Way to Financial Freedom, by Ben Carlson and Robin Powell, sets out to simplify the complex world of personal finance - and achieves this goal. The authors focus on the value of time, and stress the importance of savings over specific investment strategy. It covers the basics of investing - financial planning, asset allocation, tax incentives - but always comes back to the central themes of time and savings. These are important messages to get into the hands of people early in their careers. The language is non-technical, and the book is brimming with simple rules of thumb to help the reader build a coherent picture of their own financial path and destination, and the choices and compromises they face along the way. The underlying "get rich slowly" message resonates with advice from Warren Buffet, from Lord Lee and from many successful investors, and is delivered in a though-provoking way with the intention of promoting better financial habits. Mark Northway, Chairman of ShareSoc
This is one of the books I wished had been given to me when I was starting my first full-time job. I would have avoided a whole lot of expensive financial mistakes I made early on in my career. Naresh Jayakumar, NJURLIFE
Carlson and Powell have shown an extraordinary ability to summarise the key concepts of personal finance in a clear and simple way. With numerical examples within everyone's reach, this book answers questions on why, how, when, how much you should save and invest — and which tools to use. It is both enjoyable and educational. Investire Con Buon Senso
Carlson and Powell bring a great deal of expertise to the table in this readable, enjoyable and useful handbook. Drawing from their careers and personal experience they present some cogent advice for how to begin and continue a path to financial independence. In 22 short chapters this book lays out a plan that anyone can follow. Invest Your Way to Financial Freedom earns our high recommendation. Angus McLeod, The Money Question
I wish I had read Invest Your Way to Financial Freedom in my early 20s. It would have saved me from some big mistakes. Alice Guy, My Money Harvest
At last! A one-stop guide for UK savers that shows just how simple sensible investing can be – but is no simpler than it should be. Monevator
The lack of financial education at school, combined with the British taboo on discussing monetary matters, can lead to an information vacuum. That space is ripe to be filled with the empty, baseless advice of shills, charlatans and ‘finfluencers’. Everyone beginning to explore their financial self could benefit from filling said void with the truths found in this simple guide instead. MedFI
I gave the book to my son to read. He devoured it in two sessions. It was fascinating to watch as a series of lightbulb moments occurred while he was reading. Lessons new. Lessons he had listened to previously but hadn’t heard until now. Hopefully, he will take them on board and incorporate some of them into how he approaches his own financial future. Indeedably
This is the sort of well-written book I wished someone had given to me as a teenager to avoid some of those expensive and painful ‘learning by doing’ financial mistakes that many of us make early on. Indeedably
Invest Your Way to Financial Freedom is an essential read for anyone starting out their investment journey; informative, well-written and easy to understand. Life After the Daily Grind
Ben Carlson and Robin Powell's new book, Invest Your Way to Financial Freedom offers a clear path to building wealth that everyone should have learned in school (but didn't). I highly recommend this clearly written guide. Andrew Hallam, bestselling author of Millionaire Teacher and Balance: How to Invest and Spend for Happiness, Health and Wealth
The long term tried & tested strategies outlined in Robin & Ben’s book “Invest Your Way to Financial Freedom” are a must for all investors starting out on their journey to financial freedom. The book closely mirrors my personal journey, starting from working down a coal mine at the age of 16 to retiring a multimillionaire at the age of 50. Financial freedom for most people is not about hitting the jackpot with stocks or crypto. It’s about a sensible long-term life strategy to investing and financial prudery which will eventually lead to personal financial freedom, virtually guaranteed if you start early enough & follow the suggestions in this book.
