Father of four kids, sole breadwinner, and a man not afraid to admit to his own odd money mistake, David has also spent hour after hour in the Sunrise studio tuning in to the way the average Australian thinks about money. He knows the extent to which we all: * spend too much on silly stuff * avoid keeping track of our expenses * get overwhelmed by the cost of raising a family * settle for less in terms of salary * do without the things that would bring a bit of pleasure to our lives * pay the banks too much in fees and interest. David is here to help. In 11 easy steps he shows us everything we need to do to: * pay less on the mortgage * put up to $14,000 extra back in the average family budget * get those finances sorted in 15 minutes a month * develop a side hustle or get a salary increase (or why not both?) * learn a little about investing for the future * tackle debt once and for all.
