Money in a Time of War
A practical field guide to protecting your savings from inflation and currency collapse — with gold, dollars, property and index funds.

About the book

Most people lose the financial war for one reason: they do not know they are in one. The book opens by naming the enemy — inflation, monetary policy and decisions taken behind closed doors — then works through the tools an ordinary earner can actually use. You will learn to calculate your own personal inflation rate instead of trusting the official figure, to use the Rule of 72 to see how fast savings halve, and to tell saving from investing from protection. You will learn why jewellery is a poor way to own gold and how bullion, coins and gold funds differ; when buying dollars is a sound decision and when it is not; how listed real estate funds open the property market to small capital; and why simple index funds have historically outperformed most professional managers. The final part is an operations room: your net worth, an allocation matched to your income band, and a twelve-month plan, month by month.
