Invest Your Way - by Mark Lamonica & Shani Jayamanne (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A real-world guide to taking control of your money and building the life you want

True investing success is not found by following someone else's path. It's only when you chart your own way forward that you can really begin to accelerate your wealth. Invest Your Way: How to Grow Your Wealth on Your Terms is an authentic, down-to-earth conversation about financial independence, designed to help you develop an investing strategy that works for you. In this practical, comprehensive guide, two highly experienced finance experts show you how to create long-term financial security.

Invest Your Way deciphers and breaks down investment jargon while sharing personal stories and relatable insights that will empower you to take control of your financial future. With authors Mark LaMonica and Shani Jayamanne, the hosts of Morningstar's Investing Compass podcast, you'll discover actionable techniques you can apply now. Whether you're looking to master the fundamentals of investing or take your portfolio to the next level, Invest Your Way shows you how to maximise your money.

• Craft your unique financial philosophy: Build a personalised strategy that aligns with your goals and values, because there are no one-size-fits-all solutions.
• Gain a new perspective on key investing principles: Don't just follow conventional wisdom, but apply concepts such as diversification, asset allocation, risk and security to your own unique circumstances.
• Prevent costly mistakes: Avoid common pitfalls, minimise errors and maximise your returns.
• Compare different investment strategies: Mark and Shani share their own personal investing plans, tools and experiences, highlighting how and why they choose to invest in shares, ETFs, property and more.
• Develop a mindset for success: Build the confidence you need to follow your customised plan over the long term.

Through practical advice and exercises, real-world examples and insightful lessons in money mindset, Invest Your Way shows you how to find your own pathway to financial freedom. Stop wondering what could have been. Take your next step towards the life you deserve.
