'Time poor' is the catch-cry of our era, and yet end-of-life retirement means we have an average of two decades of feeling time rich to look forward to...when we're old. How arse-about is that? But there is an alternative to working your butt off for decades and retiring when you're worn out: it's called financial independence, and it means being able to cover life's essentials and afford the luxuries you want without having to turn up to a job each day.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Simple? I Don't Think So (but not author's fault)
There is no doubt that Whittaker is an expert in his field. Unfortunately, he still chose to attach his brand tagline '...Made Simple' to this book. There is nothing simple about the detailed content of this tome of a book. Yes, it does well to <simplify> what is otherwise a nightmare of rules, regulations, calculations, exceptions, counter-exceptions, specifics and generalities...but my overwhelming impression after listening is that the Australian taxation and welfare system is ridiculously complex.
My best takeaway is: don't attempt to manage retirement finance alone - get expert help! (At least this book will arm you to have semi-sensible conversations with said experts!)
The general/philosophical (aka 'fatherly') advice is offered tastefully and respectfully.
I suspect that this book will date in some of the legislated specifics - another reason to get up-to-date expert advice.
Finally, this book is squarely intended for over-60s Australians or those contemplating a 'traditional' retirement. Although there are some attempts to acknowledge a broader definition of 'retirement', it certainly doesn't cater for anyone from FIRE who sees 'RE' entirely differently. This is probably expected, but it was slightly disappointing for a (quote) "Everything You Need To Know" bible.
Excellent narration by Daniel Moore, despite it being a bit of a slog due to the large amount of ground covered.
