THE ALL-TIME #1 AUSTRALIAN BESTSELLER
This is the only money guide you’ll ever need.
That’s a bold claim, given there are thousands of finance books on the shelves.
Yet there’s a reason this book is in one in every 20 Australian homes.
You’ll find out how to create an entire financial plan that is so simple you can sketch it on the back of a serviette … and you’ll be able to manage your money in 10 minutes a week.
The Barefoot Steps stand the test of time. In this classic edition, you’ll get the skinny on:
- Saving up a six-figure house deposit in 20 months
- Doubling your income using the ‘Trapeze Strategy’
- Saving $77641 on your mortgage and wiping out almost 7 years of payments
- Handing your kids (or grandkids) a $140000 cheque on their 21st birthday
- Why you don’t need $1 million to retire …with the ‘Donald Bradman Retirement Strategy’
Sound too good to be true? It’s not.
This book is full of stories from everyday Aussies—single people, young families, empty nesters, retirees—who have applied the Barefoot Steps, freed themselves from crippling debt and achieved amazing, life-changing results.
And you’re next.

So simple yet so impactful!
Reviewed in India on 8 August 2020I’ve read it once, and I’ll read it it again before I feel I can try writing a review. Till then all I will say is that this makes sense and is worth buying a hard copy and marking everything you feel is important to you.

Reviewed in India on 25 March 2021Scott's style of narration is impressive. His simple no-nonsense approach makes this book a ready reference for anyone who wants to setup the fundamental baseline for a strong financial future in Australia.

Recognition of having done right
Reviewed in India on 14 April 2017There are books and books on how to be secure financially, but none come close to the pithy advice given by Scott, in a simple easy to follow process.
My take, post reading this book is to make young people starting out in life, in my part of the world, a success.

Tim5 out of 5 starsUnderstandable and clear financial advice
Reviewed in the United States on 20 October 2019My brother put me on to this book and I am greatful that he did. Scott breaks down the confusion and technical jargon around financial planning and puts it all into very easy steps that any lay person can follow. Just taking the first few steps of reviewing my current habits and setting up the buckets approach has really made me feel so much more in control of my finances and far less stressed about my future. This really is an easy book to follow and written with good wit and texture which makes it an entertaining read. I would highly recommend just starting it as I did and you will soon be at the last page with confidence in your new financial plan.

Chambers Greg5 out of 5 starsTop tips and have shared with friends
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 August 2022This is a solid book with practical everyday advice for those looking to get into saving and planning for the future financially.
The system in the book is no frills but gives a clear structure with reasons why. Once the steps are implemented then things can run automatically. Unlike other authors in this space, the book is not there to sell a course or a program - good honest help

jesus molino andre3 out of 5 starsEasy to understand but difficult to achieve
Reviewed in Spain on 13 December 2019Easy explained. But seriously, those who cannot save money with AU$90,000 per year need something else than a simple book. Most of the advices are not possible to follow if you don't earn that much.
