How to Stop Living From Pay to Pay

This is a timely little book for those who have made a resolution to get their finances under control. Titled ‘How to Stop Living from Pay to Pay (and live the life you want!)’ it’s a cover that doesn’t fail to catch the eye.

I bought this book in 2012 when I was struggling to get ahead with my budget. Although at the time I felt a bit foolish spending money on a book about saving money, the lessons that it lays out make a lot of sense.


The book is written by a man named Greg Smith, a financial consultant who gives helpful, down-to-earth advice in an easy to digest style. Rather that rabbiting on in a language that frankly would put me to sleep, I found Greg’s easy-going style to be quite entertaining and completely engaging.


He begins by helping you to assess your money ‘personality’ i.e. why you do what you do with your money. He then proceeds to provide easy-to-use templates for working out your incomings and outgoings, than wraps it all up with strategies for staying focused on your goals.


This little book really opened my eyes to some new concepts and helped me to re-focus some of the stuff that I already knew. I still pull it out every now and then to keep me on track.
