Summary
Are you young and feeling left behind financially? It doesn’t have to be this way. The UK’s leading millennial money expert, Iona Bain, is on a mission to help young people own their futures, once and for all.
Low wages, high house prices, zero reward for saving and the catastrophic fallout from Covid-19...young people have had a rough ride. But we have a choice. We can sleepwalk into a poorer future - or we can transform our prospects by embracing the power of investing.
Iona is here to demystify savings, pensions, and investing for a new generation. Whether it's robo-advisers or auto-enrollment, green investing, or Forex on Instagram, Iona will break down what it all means so YOU can take charge of your long-term finances.
In this fun, wise and incredibly helpful book, Iona explains why investing matters. She also shows you how to get your basic finances right, save for your first home and make your pension socially responsible. You'll find out all about the rewards and risks of online investing, from sexy stockpicking apps to digital wealth managers, and learn how to manage your long-term finances so you can avoid major mistakes and achieve your goals.
Investing often gets a bad rep thanks to the Wolf of Wall Street, social media scams, and high-rolling money men. In fact, investing has never been more accessible, more interesting - and more important. It’s the single biggest thing that we can do to change our lives, and society, for the better.
So what are you waiting for? Let’s start owning it!

Excellent guide to investing for newbies
Iona does an excellent job of breaking down the essentials of investing in a way that's accessible to younger people just starting out. In the book, Iona says it's typically people who don't get sound help when it comes to investing - i.e. those who don't have investment-savvy relatives - who usually need it the most, and this book is definitely a step towards plugging that knowledge (and privilege) gap.
Wonderfully written, personable and direct when the subject matter demands it, this book should be every young investor's go-to and I will certainly be recommending it to other mid-twenties-year-olds who are a bit lost when it comes to investing!

Everyone should read this book
I count myself as quite clued-up about keeping my finances under control (28 yr old woman) but I was quite disturbed over how much of the basics I didn't really understand. I feel like this is the book to read/or give to a friend when they decide "I need to sort my life out and become an adult." It's easy to understand and lays the foundations really well. It's the stuff we aren't taught in schools but really shouls be
I wish someone had handed this to me as I went off to university and started becoming independent!

Best financial advice I've ever been given
I have read Iona's book twice now. Own it is a golden source of essential financial knowledge for everyone who lives in the UK and wants to take proper care of their money. This book not only helped me to fill the gaps in my financial education, but also it caused a pivotal change in the way I think about budgeting. I would recommend Own it as a mandatory read to my younger self. I wish I had read it a decade ago... Thank you Iona, this book is a game changer!

Confused about Finances? This is the book for you!
Own It is the go to millennial guide to finances and Iona does a fantastic job of explaining the issues that impact this demographic. Should you buy or rent? Is a pension worth it? Where should I invest? I’m a Chartered Financial Planner and thought this book covered everything in great detail. Don’t hesitate, download and listen now!
