You can preorder the new Barefoot Investor book by Scott Pape in any QBD Bookshop for $19. Got mine today. All you have to do is take your receipt back into store and pick it up when it’s released on September 24th.
Price is the same online but I think you pay shipping.
Anyways, it’s a good deal if you have a store near you.
Just checked and it is from same author but different.
same author but different author ????
Same author but different book
It's not the families one?
This bloke tells like it is i recommend this to everyone!
lol
If only I had more money in my 'Splurge' account!
You can also pre-order it via Dymocks online and use code ALPACA to get it for $19 including delivery via Startrack.
No, it is $20 isn't it? You can also buy 3 copies and an extra copy will be donated to a school at Scott's expense … you will also get another extra, see Scott's email if you subscribe.
A good reason to buy extra copies is to gift them to friends and/or loved ones.
I wish my mama had read the book and taught me to cook..
He was great before selling out, now just like another of these gurus who keep bringing out new books as they have a cult of sheeple who follow everything he says to a tee.
is this guy really worth the outlay. i doubt i'll get anything out of the books
In a word, YES. However, many of the things he says are along the exact same lines as Dave Ramsey… who modeled of who, I don't know, but they are on the same page. Scott Pape has the Australian perspective and his methods are well defined in the book. You would do well to listen to both of them (Dave and Scott).

Oh and many would say the book itself (2018 version already out at least) is well worth the cost. His blueprints and other programs, IMHO, should be considerably less in cost, but the book is worth it. I picked up the Baefoot Investor 2018 update book at $22.95 with free shipping, later picked up copies at $20 to gift to family and even saw it down to $19. Some shops sell it for full retail at $29.95, but we don't shop RRP in here unless we have little choice ;-)
I read his last book a while ago (not this Families one) and while it was worth a read I personally did not get as much out of it as others might. I don't think I am his target audience but I know heaps of people who I would say are. My take on it is that it is mostly targeted at people who are not very good with money and struggle to pay the bills and get ahead or are just quite disconnected from their money/spending. He is taking on the tough job of financially educating people who don't want to be very invested in (or just aren’t very good at it) the day to day handling of money and are looking for a simple behavioural plan like splitting their money into different buckets (using different cards/accounts for example).
If you are NOT someone that has trouble paying the bills, saves a significant percentage of your income, already puts extra into Super etc then you may not get the max out of the previous book. In saying that I still enjoyed reading it and I am happy to only take away the bits that I find useful even if it’s only a small portion. I am also not sold on his choice of Super fund just because it has the lowest fees in Oz. The returns don’t seem to match what you might expect from a fund tied to index’s & when I tried to research it had many people asking the same question with little in the way of answers. You can certainly do a lot worse though.
In saying all of this I have bought the new book and if I can get a few tips that suit me I will be happy for $20 invested.
ioural plan
yeh, it's not really going to apply to me. I save as much money as I possibly can in accordance with my income. I would need in a depth review of my entire spending & only I can do that
Also want to mention i'm aware of Vanguard and EFT's but don't have time for that right now
I just bought it on Audible. Might be the old version but it does say 2018.
