STEVE GREATREX

Steve is the principal at Wealth On Track. Steve says: “My favourite is The Millionaire Next

Door. They studied actual millionaires and found that they spend modestly on things like cars but tend to buy existing homes in established areas.”

NICOLA FIELD

Nicola is a former chartered accountant and Mon

ey contributor. Nicola says: “Effie Zahos’s The Great

$20 Adventure. I used this book to teach each of my children basic money skills – distinguishing wants from needs, planning ahead and budgeting. The illustrations are charming and the core messages will last a lifetime.”

CHRIS SMITH

Chris is founding partner at VISIS Private Wealth. Chris says: “The most inspiring for me was Making Money Made Simple by Noel Whittaker.”

MICHAEL SLOAN

Michael, director of property advisory firm The Successful Investor, says: “Making Money Made

Simple by Noel Whittaker. I read it when it was first published in my early 30s and the fact it is still a must-read book almost 30 years later says a lot. It should be compulsory reading in schools.”

CHRIS BRYCKI

Chris is founder and CEO of digital investment adviser and fund manager Stockspot. Chris says: “Daniel Kahneman’s

Thinking, Fast and Slow is described as a tour de force for its clear insight into human behaviour, subconscious biases and how that impacts our decisions. It’s very relevant to investing, which is largely driven by human emotion.”

GEORGE LUCAS

George is Acorns CEO and managing director. George says: “Thinking, Fast and

Slow by Daniel Kahneman is a must-read for anyone (not just those of us in finance) who is interested in human intuition and decision making. Hasn’t stopped me making mistakes over the years but at least I understand why I make them now.”
