So, his 2019 book made OzB recently (does his website URL's 492 clicks appear [misleadingly High] above [due to Clicks on it, at more popular Deal], ie, in -this- much less popular Deal's header?)

Let's see how this Deal flies:

Any1 who's a member of his Blueprint service (including any1 who joins quickly), will [on some UNSPECIFIED date, in the new Financial Year] be able to download all of his "best" creations, estimated to be worth over $2,500, if memory serves.

It may be targeted… I learned of it via his eMail newsletter in the past 4 days.

In short, Join: for $375, await the link.. & d'load his collection of "best" materials, & - at your option - ask for a Full Refund, B4 your Membership ends.

I DOUBT the collection would include the Books we know so well… But, find out before you buy any of them, eh? ;~)

    BTW, his plan is: Give up his Financial Advisor's license… Close his Business… & Open a NON-PROFIT organisation.

    Keeping current staff, & hiring more…

    I'll let Scott Pape tell you the rest…

    If you like the idea, Check it out!

    PS Every1's beginning to Invest [some] time & resource$ to help others…

    Bill Gates, for 1… Maybe Scott has a similar idea…? Dunno… He can tell you!

    I think it may be to start an educational "MONEY MOVEMENT" in & for AU, for our KIDS.

    Go find out!

      So any1 who follows his advice will end up running a non-profit organisation in bare feet and without a licence?

      • IVI on 25/06/2019 - 13:53

        Dunno… Go ask him. :~)

        I suspect it's legit, & for Aussie kids, who might otherwise Not have much to retire on, when it's time to do that.

    • IVI on 30/06/2019 - 10:35

      ReReading the $397 deal, it seems your
      "Giving Away the Farm" Bonus will come:

      • sometime in the coming financial year

      (I couldn't find a date by which Bonus
      will be available…?)

    Well his old contents are pretty much outdated.. So I wouldn't say they're worth over $2500.. and his recent recommendations have been very bad. Considered this deal for EOFY but pass for me

    • IVI on 25/06/2019 - 13:56

      If his "MONEY MOVEMENT" (for Kids' financial education) is as indicated, he might be able to help fund it from RoI from any1's $375, even if they Request & Get a Full Refund, later.

    • seedyrom on 25/06/2019 - 17:47

      Yep, I canned my subscription 2 months ago. Based on his form I guess I predicted the end.

      No, the only community he is active online is his secret investment club where he & his $770 an hour lawyer hang out with his property guy. /s

      Deal wise, maybe worth it if you need to be spoon-fed information to shop around for better mortgage and health insurance rates & how to buy ETFs. I can see it helping the financially illiterate.

        So, what % of Aussie kids - eg, from troubled homes - might benefit from:

        • "THE MONEY MOVEMENT"

        I like the thought of:

        • "A GENERATION OF WISE INVESTORS"

        as I did, while living in Sweden, of

        • "A SMOKE-FREE GENERATION"

        (There were also signs eg: Don't use Credit)

      • IVI on 25/06/2019 - 14:09

        Somewhere, he says his lawyer will be available Cost-Free to speak to Blueprint members (unless + until they drop out).

        Go Fact-Check all the Details… & Report back your findings, either way.

    I like this guy's approach, and I admire his plan. Financial literacy in Australia is weak on average. But that page describing this 'deal' reminds me of those real estate spruikers, the ones that have the answer to your financial success, and protest too much about how much they can help you make a fortune. And the page goes for a thousand miles before getting to the bottom and telling you how much it costs. The whole thing just seemed really out of character.

    • IVI on 25/06/2019 - 14:04

      I suspect he's using a style that works
      (both for him & others, in any other
      online business, out here).

      Force of habit, maybe. ;~)

      • NoDiggerty on 25/06/2019 - 14:12

        You know there's literally a button for that right?

    Seems in bad taste for this to be a deal that relies on everyone joining as real members and then mass requesting for refunds..

    I sincerely doubt getting a refund will be that easy

    • CharityCase on 25/06/2019 - 14:10

      It won't be easy if he decides to close down his business

    • NoDiggerty on 25/06/2019 - 14:13

      It is, I've done twice now.

    • whitelie on 25/06/2019 - 15:48

      He has sent out mass emails over the past few days detailing his plan and it is as simple as the deal explains. Sign up, get the content and ask for a refund. No questions asked, he wants to give as much away as possible before he packs it all in.

      • eltito on 25/06/2019 - 16:15
        +5

        Admittingly, I haven't looked into this, and I doubt I will, but if he wants to give as much away as possible before packing it all in, why doesn't he just make it free? Why go to the hassle of receiving funds from people who subscribe only to get a refund request down the track? As far as I understand, receiving funds and refunding funds isn't free (banks do charge) even if its a small amount - transactions aren't free. Again, I don't understand why he'd just make it free, thereby both parties win.

        Again, I have no interest in me, and I'm sure someone else can come up with a logical explanation, but it just seems to me, that he is banking on people subscribing and then either forgetting or deciding the info is worth the $. Kind of like Costco, you can request a refund at any point of your membership and they give it back no questions asked - at least AFAIK (haven't checked in a while) it was like this. But they bank, that either you will forget (well that's hard because they don't charge you for the yearly membership until you're at the register) or that you will find value in the service and keep at it. Personally, it's great that the refund policy at any point is available, but if his true intentions is too just give everything away before packing it in - then really, just make it free and be done with it.

  • IVI on 25/06/2019 - 14:03

    Ask those who may have done it, in past years.

      More to getting our kids Financially Cluey, at least Scott Pape seems to be doing something worthy of Emilating & possibly Supporting.

      If you don't want to Support it,
      why not at least go help nearby
      Kids learn to Plan for their Future?

      PS As a Pro (New Liquid-Fuel) Nuclear
      Educator + Advocate, it pains me to
      know that, eg, Qld still mines + burns
      Toxic Coal.

      So, I work to "open eyes" to what France
      does so much better…

      I also let folks know about what's
      coming SOON ~2030, that will enable
      AU to begin to get value from the
      Uranium & (thereafter) Thorium, we
      have heaps of:

      • YouTube: "Petersen TEDxCopenhagen"

      Aussies don't Need to be Stupid just
      because Nuclear Energy is BANNED here!

      When Liquid-Fuel, Molten Salt Reactors
      hit the World market, AU will want+get

    • IVI on 25/06/2019 - 14:33

      Maybe ask him to Open Source some or all of it

      Who remembers the CopyLeft movement, that
      helped Linux get legs?

      Now, look at all the Open Source LINUX
      & other Operating Systems, that still
      help keep our Internet humming along:

    Unhhh, I 'subscribed' after asking a question on his website (not sure if he answered) and getting daily emails about 'Im giving this to you FREE' 'I am shutting down' clickbaity type cr*p made me set a rule for it to go straight to Trash lol.

    • IVI on 25/06/2019 - 14:37

      His style is a well-known one.

      Let's ask: What's he done to date?

      I've heard there have been in-school
      lessons for financial wisdom (maybe
      by a diff. name).

      Come'on Brain Trust, is this guy trustworthy or what?

      • neil aus on 25/06/2019 - 16:55

        He’s legit, he’s sent a barefoot for families book to every school in the country.

        I’ve been reading his emails for around a year now, good info in the Q&A sections.

  • abc on 25/06/2019 - 14:35

    Scott Pape, better known as the Barefoot Investor, has announced he is shutting down one of his businesses.

    Pape will be closing down Barefoot Blueprint, his subscription-based investment newsletter that includes Pape’s personal tips on economics, shares, property, superannuation, managed funds, fixed interest, and cash, and can include a number of bonus research features and special reports.

    He is offering a full refund if you are not happy

    • asa79 on 25/06/2019 - 17:54

      I'm sure there are terms and conditions around that, if you have downloaded or accessed certain areas the refund would be null invoid

    His original book is good for people who are bad with money, I don't trust him enough to give him 3K a year unless he can guarantee 50% returns day one.

  • blackwalnut on 25/06/2019 - 16:30

    yes, he is going to work for nothing i am sure, looks like a quick grab of cash to fund him enjoying his lifestyle and providing basic money advice, which he got from others.

    I moved to a bunch of vanguard managed funds. I’m up 10% in 4 months.
