This book is an excellent resource for anyone in Ireland looking to begin their investment journey. Having moved here a few years ago, I postponed investing because I found the tax system confusing. Although I had a good grasp of saving and the basics, I lacked the confidence to act. This book provided the clarity and peace of mind I needed to make my first investment.
Unlike many other guides that focus only on theory, this book offers practical, actionable steps—how to open an account, what to prioritize, and which tools to use. It also addresses the psychological barriers that often hold people back, offering strategies to overcome them.
I highly recommend it: clear, accessible, and perfectly tailored to the Irish context.

A helpful and practical guide for people curious about investing/saving but don't know where to start or what to research. The book breaks down many key investing terms, but also outlines common barriers to building wealth, including psychological challenges (e.g. impulse spending, fear of losing money through investing wrong).
The information is neutral and balanced, highlighting the benefits and risks of different investments and methods , empowering you to make an informed choice on what works best for you.

A handy and practical guide to saving and investing in Ireland. One of the first actionable steps I took after reading was to check the tax refunds my family could claim for the past year - turns out, we had €1800 left on the table, which is now claimed, not too bad:)
