The Barefoot Investor is an Australian farm boy's guide to taking charge of your personal finances with a simple system focused on eliminating debt, living in the now, and still retiring in peace.

Every country has its own version of Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover.

Australia has Scott Pape, also known as The Barefoot Investor. He grew up on a farm where he learned to love the simple life.

In order to keep the freedom he'd always known, he started his career in the stock market, but quickly realized finance was more complicated than making a few good picks.

So instead, he took to cleaning up the crooked industry that is personal finance.

Today, Pape is Australia's most trusted financial expert, frequently speaks on national TV, has advised the government and world-class sports teams, and, once again, lives on a farm with his wife and kids.

The Barefoot Investor is his comprehensive guide, which, since publication, has sold over 400,000 copies.

In three parts, planting, growing, and harvesting, he shares 9 easy steps we can take towards financial freedom.
