What They Don't Teach You About Money

Unlike her name, Claer’s journalism is always clear. She’s a great champion of financial literacy. I suspect the book will be no different. More power to her elbow. * Martin Lewis CBE, founder, Money Saving Expert *You MUST read this book. It’s funny, it’s wise, it’s kind - and we’ve never needed it more. * Tim Harford OBE, The Undercover Economist, author, HOW TO MAKE THE WORLD ADD UP *This book has everything you need to understand and take control of your finances. It is bursting with common sense and is invaluable and utterly indispensable in these tough times. * Lorraine Kelly CBE, TV personality and journalist, Lorraine *An essential and enlightening book for anyone wanting to feel more confident about their money. * MoneyWeek *The money book for people who hate money books. * Eddie Mair, broadcaster *Numbers and money can be scary topics. But armed with Claer’s combination of charm and financial expertise, this book can help everyone feel more confident. This should be compulsory reading for all! Claer is clearly the financial teacher for the nation. * Bobby Seagull, maths teacher and TV personality *Claer gets right to the heart of what’s eating away at us all, quietly, about our own money blockages, in language that feels familiar, up close, and most of all kind. This is the book I want to give my son as soon as he’s old enough. * Ranvir Singh, TV personality and journalist, Good Morning Britain *This is a book rich in financial goodness. Written in plain English, it’s for everyone - absorb and lick your finances into shape. * Jeff Prestridge, group wealth and personal finance editor, Daily Mail and General Trust *
