I honestly don't waste my energy getting caught up in the debate. And because it's happened, I don't really care who's to blame.

I have lost 50% of my super fund but I'm not whining on about it. Instead I've accepted it's gone and now I'm planning a new business strategy to make my own insurance policies. But then I never did buy into all the gimmicks of investing money. I just ran businesses and bought properties.

Donald Trump and Robert T Kiyosaki have written books on managing money, cashflow and how to understand fiscal matters. They are two wealthy men out there sharing their knowledge about how to look after your money. Their books are worth reading.

Quite right. It is interesting that Wales has more castles per square mile than any other country in Europe.

Their books are very timely right now. They are good people to learn from and listen to.
