Loot! The informed guide to your SSIA and other investments

Loot!  is available online from Easons or Amazon.co.uk

We all have a little, we'd all like to have a little more. And thanks to Fairy Godmother McCreevy, most of us have been saving for the past five years and we're ready to take the money...and run. You could spend yours on a shiny new babe magnet with alloys, or in a far flung luxurious spa (with a tummy tuck on the side), or perhaps blow the lot on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday fro the family. But what are the other possibilities?

There are lots of smart, life-enhancing and profitable options that are worth considering before you let SSIA fever go to your head. These include
  • Getting a mortgage or a second mortgage
  • Investing in property abroad
  • Playing the stock market
  • Buying bonds
  • Recruiting a good investment advisor
  • Figuring out the best pension and retirement funds
It's not everyday that you get to leave the bank with a bag of loot - you have to make the most of it.  LOOT! offers no money back offers, no false promises, no hyperbole - just good advice, helpful tips and solid information. Above all it will help you make the best decisions for you.

Short Hands, Long Pockets
