Take back control of your money and secure your family's financial future

Banks make their money from our money; it's the nature of their business. They profit from our ignorance by selling us 'products' we don't actually need and have a vested interest in keeping us in the dark. 
 
Jasmine's no-nonsense, practical advice will help you to: 
- Make the most of your savings and watch your money grow 
- Get free money from the government by using up your ISA allowance 
- Pay off your mortgage quickly, even though the banks don't want you to 
- Invest in stocks and shares the cheap and easy way 
- Ensure a safe and profitable retirement by choosing the right pension 
 
So, it's time to fire your bank manager, beat the banks at their own game and ensure the profits end up in your pocket, not theirs!
