The Place to start…
What is Financial Dignity?
Financial Dignity is the controlled use of all the money that
you accrue to achieve a lifestyle that is of maximum value to
you.

The 4 Principles of Financial Dignity
1. Spend some of your money
2. Save the rest
3. Get rid of the debt with the high interest
4. Then learn enough to invest with the best.

There are typical signs of having attained Financial Dignity
• Having manageable Mortgage Debt.
• No consumer Debt.
• Investing at least 10% of all your income so you have the
means to support a fulfilling lifestyle for the rest of your life.
• Spending the rest of your money on a lifestyle that is of value
to you.

Financial Dignity could mean many different things to as many
different people. Each individual’s aspirations, motivation, abilities
and income are all so different and diverse. But one thing I am
sure they all have in common is that they
will aspire to be better off financially at
sometime in the future than they are now. Live

What Financial Dignity means to me
personally is to be able to live debt-free so Debt

that all the money I work for is mine to do
with as I please; to have at least three times Free

my monthly income available for
emergencies; to be able to afford to take
holidays when I want and where I want, and
to be able to do all this in comfort for the
rest of my life.
Now please take a pause here, put the book
down and think what Financial Dignity would mean to you. Come
back some time later and write it down on the following page or in
your diary or journal. The important thing is that you write it down
and keep it somewhere safe for it is a vision of your future.
Within the following pages there is extraordinary information that
can show you a way to attain your own vision of financial dignity by
simple, non-extraordinary means. However the information consists

of a series of mere words that are worthless unless you add the
magic ingredient— Commitment.

Commit to being debt free.

What Financial Dignity means to me: (Take a few
moments to reflect and write down what Financial Dignity would be to you)
In writing down your version of Financial Dignity you have started
to change a dream into a goal. Take much inspiration from this
because all successful people have written goals. They write their
goals down in detail and work out what they will need to do to
achieve them. Then they go to work on taking all the steps
necessary to attain their goals.

Please bear this in mind,
“No plan survives contact with the enemy”
General Field Marshall Helmuth Von Moltke
This simply means plan for the plan not to go according to plan! I
am sure as soon as you start working towards your goal things will
change, some for the better some for the worse. If the plan is not
working, don’t worry do another one, re-adjust, re-assess the time
scales, start again or work out a way around it.
Keep focused on your goal and remind yourself why it is important
to you.
A person who tries and fails and tries again is not a failure,
just someone who has not succeeded YET.
The only failures are the ones that never try.

Principle1
Spend Some of your Money
Most of us will not have much problem with this particular tenet.
Lets face it we all like to spend money on things we find desirable.
Who can blame us as we live in such a wonderfully diverse world
where all manner of fine luxuries can be had or at least aspired to!
Spending is a pleasurable habit and like a habit it needs controlling
or it may become an uncontrollable vice. Impulse buying or
uncontrolled spending is an instant gratification. Financially mature
and confident people are able to recognise and resist such negative
habits. They are also able to resist the purchasing of something just
to keep up with or impress friends or neighbours.
Your financial lifestyle should be one that reflects your own beliefs
and values and be congruent with society. You should spend to
please yourself on things you find of value.
What having money does best is it allows you to be able to
please yourself. Enjoy it.
The following is a little story about a friend of mine who has the
wisdom of a Zen Master when it comes to money. He also has a
great passion and talent for rock climbing.

Climbing Money Day
“Ah climbing money day,” Rob remarked, clapping his gnarly,
calloused hands together as we walked to the site of our latest
climbing adventure. Puzzled I asked; “what’s climbing money day”?
“Pay day…Climbing money day,” he replied. He must of thought I
still look puzzled for he went on to explain” Payday is climbing
money day, it is the only reason I go out to work, so I can afford to
go climbing,” He drew attention to what some would call a frugal
lifestyle and that he did not want or need fancy clothes or food. He
just wanted to climb.
Indeed I had often found him having porridge for tea prior to an
after work climbing session “ Arr, good climbing grub,” he would
exclaim with a wink of an eye and a smack of his lips which always
seemed to me to be a fine imitation of a salty old sea Captain. “
Porridge for tea, Rob, that’s a bit grim,” I questioned. He replied
sounding like a landlubber again “ All that fancy stuff you eat is just
a habit you have got into, I am full up and nourished, what more do
you want?” “I like my food, I argued.” “I like my climbing and I
want to be able to do it for a lot longer yet” was his retort. I must
have been looking puzzled yet again for he went on to explain. “ It’s
simple, all the money I have coming in I split up into some for food
and drink, some for clothes, some for looking after the house, some
for keeping my climbing equipment in good order and that includes
the car. No car, no climbing, you got to get there, man (now

sounding like a hippie!). Now I also have a pot of money for this
season’s climbing trips and the last pot is where I put it away for
future seasons when I intend not to be working anymore. The way I
look at it is that the more I can save now, the more climbing I can
do in the future. Its simple No Money No Climbing”.
It was not until I started writing this book did I recall the wisdom of
his words and actions. My climbing friend was in control of his
spending. He channelled the flow of all the money that passed
through his gnarly, calloused, rock-climbing battered hands into
what he desired most. Money to Rob is just a means to an end, a
tool. He planned with foresight how to use it. Allowing him freedom
to devote his leisure time to doing just what pleased HIM.
His needs are simple, frugal some
would say, but he had the
knowledge and skills to power-
spend to enrich his life with what he
valued. He had attained Financial
Dignity.

Enrich your life with what you value.

Please take the time here to stop and consider this snippet of
common sense but uncommon practice for it is the key to great
riches.
You now have the knowledge and if you apply it by taking
productive action it WILL make you rich.
The action you need to take is…PAY YOURSELF FIRST.
Please do not read any further until you have calculated ALL your
incoming money over the course of a month. Fill in the following
form.
SOURCE OF INCOME AMOUNT OF INCOME £’s

Wages from Employment.
Partner.
Social Security Benefits.
Income from assets.
TOTAL INCOME

Calculate 10% of your total income and record in the box below.
This is the money that can make you rich.
Your 10%
This 10% is to pay your self first. You must save it no matter what
occurs. It is to be taken away from all your money to be treated as
special, to be understood and to be nurtured, for this money is your
future and therefore very precious indeed.
If you treat your 10% well this is how it will repay you.
• Let say you earn half the current average national wage of
around £ 25,000 per year that is £12,500 or £1048 per
month.
• 10% of that is £105.
• You invest that £105 at 11% compound interest capitalised on
an annual basis.
• You work for 49 years. That is starting work at 16 and retiring
at 65 and you invest your £105 each month every month for
the 49 years.
Would have £2,004,147
Two million four thousand and one hundred and forty seven pounds!

OR
You could retire at 50 with £409,284 to your name and that would
yield you an annual lump sum of £45,021 every year forever
without your capital diminishing.
“Let honesty and industry be thy constant companions and spend
one penny less than thy clear gains; then shall thy pocket begin to
thrive; creditors will not insult, nor want oppress, nor hunger bite,
nor nakedness freeze thee.”
Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
Save the rest

A Financial Clairvoyants Crystal Ball
Saving is preparing for the future. Using the Financial Lifestyle
Predictor on page 47 can foretell your financial future with a
reasonable amount of certainty. You can see what is happening
now, apply a budget to make changes and predict the effect of
those changes on your financial
future. You will get a vital insight

Enjoying life
into your lifestyle and spending
is a justifiable
habits. You may well be shocked expense
how much your vices and daily
purchases of unimportant trivia are
really costing you. Please take the
time to start filling in the Predictor
starting with your current spending
habits and then the Spending Plan
that follows as accurately as
possible. For large one off purchases
you will need to divide the payment over each of the twelve
months.
Always carry a small notebook and pencil to record all the hard- to-
remember bits you purchase over the course of a day. Above all be
honest with yourself about the findings. When you have completed

filling in all the items that are relevant to your lifestyle, take a long
critical look. How you interpret the results must be up to you.
I remember the first time I completed the exercise. My wife and I
were aghast to find out how much we were spending on satellite TV
and video rental. On top of that there is all the sweets, chocolate,
drinks, peanuts, and crisps, etc. that are almost essential to chomp
your way through when watching TV. We still do the same things
but on a reduced scale and still enjoy it just as much.
The next part of the process is to compare your current monthly
spending habits with your monthly income.
Total income from page 31 £…………
Minus
Existing spending habits (The full version has an extensive Lifestyle
Predictor which will help you do this accurately) £…………
TOTAL £……
If your total is a minus amount fill in this section
I am living beyond my means by £……… Date………
If your total is a positive amount fill in this section
I am living below my means by £……… Date………
Important

If you find you are coming out with a minus figure go back over
your spending plan with more resolve to cut out non-vital items and
reduce the others to a minimum. If after doing this, your outgoings
are still greater than your incomings get independent professional
help quickly. Here are some useful addresses and phone numbers.

Please take prompt action because your debt will be increasing
daily. Debt problems can seem daunting and insurmountable on
your own. These organisations have trained people that can help.
Their support and guidance will prove invaluable.
• Be very cautious of any person or organisation that is making
any sort of fee or charge to sort out debt on your behalf.
Taking Control.
The next part of the process is to start planning how you are going
to spend your money. You are taking control and channelling your
money in the direction of your goals. I am sure many pennies and
pounds can be “Shaved and Saved” from most of the categories
without affecting your lifestyle too much. Out of these savings you

will be able to find YOUR 10% to pay yourself first. Fill in the
Monthly Spending Plan inserting YOUR 10% at the top of the
column on page 48.
When you start making the cuts to what you spend, do not forget
that you still need to enjoy life and that enjoyment is a justifiable
expense.
The plan is to balance having it now or in the future.
Life is short; you should enjoy its fruits in moderation and when you
can afford them, but without mortgaging your future.
“The way to wealth…
Depends chiefly on two words, industry and frugality;
That is, waste neither time nor money”.
Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Principle 3
Get rid of the Debt with the high interest.
Consumer Debt
The Debt I refer to here is Consumer Debt that is linked to the
acquisition of lifestyle comforts, whims or desires. This type of debt
can really suck the life out of your financial future and is best
avoided. Entering into debt for business reasons or to accumulate
assets is often necessary and indeed wise as long as it is part of a
well thought out Business Plan or Investment Strategy.
If you have any non-mortgage debt, loans, credit cards etc. take
the money you have identified as your 10% and put it towards
paying off those debts. Get them paid down as quickly as possible
because each day you have them they cost you more money, This
Compound interest working against you. This is still paying yourself
first and may well be the best investment you ever make.
For example: if you have a credit card and the interest rate is 18%
per annum and if you pay it off, you are saving yourself having to
pay out that extra 18%; which is just the same as getting an
exceptional return of 18% on an investment.

Which debt do I pay of off first?
I have seen this question asked all over the internet and I
have not seen a satisfactory answer. The answer is simple
and disturbing:
The debt with the highest interest has not necessarily got a
percentage after it. It is the debt that can cause you the most harm
if it remains unpaid. If you do not pay your rent or mortgage you
could be evicted from your home. Moneylenders can, via County
Court Judgements apply for an order for Bailiffs to take your
possessions and sell them to recover any defaulted payments. If
you have borrowed money from less reputable sources you can be
threatened with violence or worse if you fail to meet their
payments. Prison sentences can be handed out for not paying
income tax, council tax, and child support.
“There can be no real individual freedom in the presence of
economic insecurity”
Chester Bowles (1901-1986)

Debt Priority Form
To be sure you are paying off the most harmful debt fill in the following
form.
How
Who do How What are the What is much do
I owe much consequences the I have

to? owe? this debt? rate? each

Sorry!

Do not do budgets!!!
I find it difficult to stick to a budget. I think there are too many
factors in a busy family life to account for all the money you spend.
All you can hope for it to plan what you can and try to keep track of
where you do spend it. I have stilled called it a budget planner for
the people that are disciplined enough to budget effectively (and
because I could not think of a better name) Please remember it is
only a plan and keep your spend flexible enough to enjoy life

THINGS WE
FORGOT!!!

It can clearly be seen in the above example that the difference
between the Planned and the Actual spends on the individual items
are fairly nominal. But when totalled, there is a substantial disparity
appearing, of £32 per week. If that disparity is left uncontrolled for
a year it will build into a monstrous £1664 by the end of the year
that will demand paying from somewhere. Try not to become over-
jealous about sticking to your budget; it could drive you mad with
worry! There are just to many variables to account for during a pay
period. It is not a science; it is merely a guide or map. With regular
small adjustments to your course you can stay on track, keep
control of your spending and head towards your own Financial
Dignity.

Keep heading towards your Financial Dignity.

The Warning signs of too much debt.
You are burdened with too much Debt if;
• You worry, cannot sleep or show other signs of stress caused
by your financial situation.
• You fret over opening the mail as it may contain demands
from your creditors or bank.
• After you have paid all your creditors and expenses you do
not have enough left to pay for essential items such as food.
• You use credit cards or loans to buy essential items such as
food.
• You can only ‘afford’ pay only the minimum payments on
your credit card(s).
• Your credit cards are often near or at your spending limit.
• Credit cards get declined and cheques bounce.
• You have to ‘time’ putting in cheque payments hoping that
they will not be presented before the next payday.
• If you have a minor financial emergency you would need to
borrow money to resolve it.
• You have no savings, investments or other assets.
• You lie and otherwise deceive friends and loved ones about
your spending habits and financial situation.

Be cautious.
If any of these are symptomatic you should consider getting advice
from a relevant organisation. But please be cautious of advice from
organisations that charge you a fee or a percentage to manage
your debt on your behalf. They can offer consolidation loans, to use
the equity in your house or otherwise restructure the debt. The
hook is new lower monthly repayment. These repayments are
mainly interest with little actually being paid off the debt itself.
Thus keeping you in debt and paying them interest over long
periods of time.
This is Compound Interest working against you and for the lender.
Remember the aim is to get out of debt, not take on extra or
prolong existing debt.

Principle 4.
Learn enough to invest with the best.
You really do not need to learn very much to invest with the best.
What the best know, understand and use wisely is the effect of time
and compound interest.
 Compound interest is the key to great prosperity. 

Understand it well.

Tracker Funds and Pound Cost Averaging are the basis for
attaining long term Financial Dignity. They balance the risk and
potential returns in a most advantageous manner.
These simply just track a given index. If you are interested in
investment or not, you will have heard the terms, The FTSE 100,
The FTSE-all share index (UK), The Dow Jones (USA) and the Nikkei
(Japan) All of these are examples of indices in different countries.
You invest in all the companies in the index by pooling your money
with others to buy part shares (units) in amounts proportionate to
the size of the company. The future value of the units replicates the
performance of the Index as a whole. In any given index, some
companies will do very well and some will fail. But having invested
in the whole index you have reduced the exposure to the risk of
failing companies and balanced that with the gains from the
successful companies.
The return on your investment will go up and down when observed
over a short period of time. But over a prolonged time period the
trend will always be up, the average growth of an investment since
1918 has been 11%*. A tracker Fund is a long-term investment so
you need to commit to it for at least 10 years as this allows the
averaging of the ups and downs of the Stock Market to take effect.
*Credit Suisse First Boston Equity at time of writing.

Pound-cost Averaging.
It may seem improbable, but you can enhance your investment as
the market goes down as well.
Lets say you regularly invest £25 each month in an Index Tracker
Fund.
The first month the market is high and the unit cost are £1.00 each.
You now have 25 units.
The second month the market takes a dip and the units are only
worth £0.50 but you still buy £25 worth acquiring 50 units.
The third month the market has rallied and the units are £1.00 each
again and again you buy £25 worth. So at the end of month 3 you
have invested £75 in total and have 100 units now valued at
£1each.
The figures have been simplified for the illustration to clearly show
how the mechanics of Pound–Cost Averaging can be used to take
advantage of the rises and falls in the value of the chosen index.
Investing smaller amounts in a “Tracker” on a regular basis rather
than occasional lump sum takes full advantage of what the volatile
stock markets do naturally and that is, rise and fall in value over a
short term. If you add this to the very low management charges
and fees, “Trackers” and Pound Cost Averaging are proved to be a
winning combination.


BE RICH & HAPPY
Spend some of your money
Save the rest,
Get rid of the debt with the high interest,
Then learn enough to invest with the best.
