OK. Well, to return to the question that we asked at the start of the podcast, money is just a fiction that everyone has chosen to believe in. Now, with all the issues right now, Rob, in the financial system, do you think there will come a point where that faith in the financial system will be shaken or even lost? Age is generally used as a proxy for earning power: the closer you are to retirement, the less risk you want to take on.

This measures the time from a property being publicly listed on the market, to keys being handed to the buyer.The best investing books come in two main styles; those that offer facts, data & information and those that offer an opinion. Both are incredibly useful - but we need to be able to identify which books are which. His own property portfolio has given him the flexibility to travel the world with his family, and the freedom to do what he loves: learn, simplify, then pass that knowledge on. Welcome to Money Clinic, the weekly podcast from the Financial Times about personal finance and investing. I’m Claer Barrett, the FT’s consumer editor. Hmm. Well, I mean, certainly there are many things in it that fascinated and surprised me. But let’s talk about your journey towards becoming an investor because you started investing your spare cash at really quite an early age. And that developed into an obsession, in your own words. So tell us how it all began.
In The Price of Money, a leading investment expert explains what's changed - and what you should do now we're here. You'll learn why currencies the world over have lost 99 per cent of their value, and how to use future declines to your advantage. You'll understand how the government can produce hundreds of billions out of thin air, and which investments benefit when they do. Most importantly, you'll be shown what's coming next - and how to position yourself to gain rather than suffer. Well, your book came out last month and there’s quite a story behind its creation. Share it with us. Read the biography of any billionaire you can think of. I guarantee it’ll be a tale of hard work, persistence and brave (though not flawless) decision-making. And I bet they remained vigorous and active well into their 70s and 80s. And so my parents were always very sort of frugal and sort of sensible with money. And there were never any lectures about it. We just kind of absorbed it. And then from just having part-time jobs from the age of 15, I just naturally found myself saving. And obviously, as you know, saving isn’t the way to wealth. It’s great, it’s essential. But saving in its own, on its own needs to lead towards, lead towards investment. And then it’s when I discovered, I sort of like dabbled with Isas and things like that. But when I discovered property, I thought, oh, well, this is really fun. And that was like a gateway because property, I think people find it appealing because it’s really easy to understand — it’s simple, it’s tangible. And so that was kind of what got me into investing more broadly and the point at which it did become an obsession. And happily, it’s sort of my job as well.
