How to be Money Smart is directed toward 18-30 year olds who want to build wealth and live well.

Easy to read, and quick to implement, this guide explains how to buy a car, whether to rent or buy a house, how to develop an effective saving and spending plan, and how and where to invest.

Dr. Mary Kelly was once asked if she was afraid of the risk involved with investing. Mary's answer was, "I am far more afraid of having to buy cat food when I don't have a cat."

This became part of the many personal finance courses Mary has taught for three universities to thousands of students.

Money Smart is dedicated to Mary's students, with the hope that they will make smart decisions, live well, and help others.

    I already don't buy catfood in my non-cat-possessing state. I must be a genius!

      Great idea. I'll do the same with dog food and dogs.

    • KayDat on 19/04/2013 - 10:47

      But what will I be if I stop buying cat food when I do have a cat?

      The true genius is figuring out not buying ladies' lingeries when you don't have a gf.

        So what you can always wear the lingerie yourself, can't you?

    What an anti-OZBargain subtitled book, and on OZB. I will definitely take it for free as a revenge. Though probably never get a chance to read it.

    I got it (b/c it was free) and at the start there is a list of T/F questions. After answering true to all of them I was told to go have a coffee. I don't know why this book think's I'm made of money. I'm off to go have some nice free water :)

    I think the book should be titled how not to buy a TV wall mount when you don't have a TV

    Hopefully this book will stop Ozbargainers from buying unnecessary things (unless it's free, of course).

    • muncan on 19/04/2013 - 10:14

      Get book, then stop buying cat food.

    • retiredfeline on 19/04/2013 - 10:23

      Give away cat, stop buying cat food.

      Hi Ralph

  • montorola on 19/04/2013 - 10:05

    Haha this book should be a staple download with every OzBargain membership.

    Time and time again I've seen people buying accessories, then they go out and buy the actual product lol

    Cat food can come in handy when the machines take over the world and there's no food to eat.

      Or when ALF takes over the world and there's no cats to eat.

  • subydooby on 19/04/2013 - 10:59

    Follow the money saving tips and maybe you can avoid buying cat food when you are a pensioner…

  • gk0r on 19/04/2013 - 18:16

    Is it meant to be free? If so, it's expired.

  • davidl2 on 20/04/2013 - 12:12
