Money is a guarantee that we may have what we want in the future. Though we need nothing at the moment it insures the possibility of satisfying a new desire when it arises.” -- Aristotle

Hello Hello,

I hope you had a good week! Before I start can I ask you a favour 💓, as you are the best ambassadors for this book and Vestpod? Thanks to YOU, the book is a bestseller on Amazon (#1 in Online Trading & Investing #1 in Financing Mortgages #2 in Personal Taxation)!

To help it reach the next stage, may I kindly ask you to 🌟 review it on Amazon 🌟 (it takes 1 minute and it does not matter where you bought it from) if you liked it? We have 8 reviews atm and I want to see if we can have 100! Thanks!
 
🌟 Review on Amazon 🌟
This week, I wanted to try a new format in the newsletter so please let me know your thoughts (hit reply and talk to me)! I’ll give you the usual Vestpod update and then the main money news of the week or month, followed by anonymous money story, book reviews and events. Sound good?

A week ago I organised a little party at Second Home for friends and family to celebrate the launch of the book and FINALLY have a few (many) glasses of aperol spritz 🍹. We had an investing workshop on Monday, I spoke at Habito to their staff (the online mortgage broker) on Tuesday and yesterday at Transferwise! On a more personal note, I went to see The Lehman Trilogy play at Piccadilly Theatre, and yes I worked for Lehman in London so it was v special but you should go, it does not cover the financial crisis but how 3 brothers landed in America to build a bank.

Yesterday night, I went to the Second Home London Fields opening party and managed to meet London’s mayor Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London 😱😱) and give him a copy of You’re Not Broke.
