Money Australia — May 2017

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.”

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.”

CHRIS BRYCKI

Chris is founder and CEO

of digital investment

adviser and fund man-

ager Stockspot. Chris

says: “Daniel Kahneman’s

Thinking, Fast and Slow is

described as a tour de force

for its clear insight into

human behaviour, subcon-

scious biases and how that

impacts our decisions. It’s

very relevant to investing,

which is largely driven by

human emotion.”

NICOLA FIELD

Nicola is a former char-

tered 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.”

MICHAEL SLOAN

Michael, director of prop-

erty 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.”

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 mis-

takes over the years but

at least I understand why

I make them now.”
