You should now be in a position to understand what living within your means actually means and have a good idea of how to do it.

You should also understand the importance of paying yourself first, or second. You’re going to know how to plan for the future, but bear in mind you want to enjoy yourself along the way.

You understand the technical side of pounding and compounding, and how they can really benefit you by getting started investing sooner rather than later.

And, hopefully, I’ve helped you avoid some of the dodgier schemes out there by understanding that there’s no such thing as a free lunch and that you need to review anything that looks a bit too good to be true. Twice.
