Moolala Book Review and Giveaway
Random House Publishing contacted me to review a new personal finance best seller, Moolala (link), which was written by Bruce Sellery. The title sounded unique and interesting, so I gratefully accepted the book for review with a few copies for giveaway.
Before I even had to chance to read it, I was seeing the book on the best sellers table at Chapters and at the exclusive best sellers table at Walmart, which then really peaked my interest.
I must admit that the book was a pleasant surprise. As I’ve read quite a few money books in my day, I was expecting a typical personal finance book with the common money mantras. However, Moolala had a little something extra that kept me interested. Where most financial books talk only about the “how”, this book digs a little deeper and adds the “why” to help develop, achieve, and put life goals into context.
About the Author
You may have heard the name Bruce Sellery before as he is one of the founders of Business News Network (BNN). Here’s what the book says about him:
Bruce Sellery is a business journalist and professional speaker. As one of the founding members of BNN, he has anchored thousands of hours of programing from Toronto to New York.
More recently, Bruce founded Moolala, a personal finance training company focused on inspiring people to get a handle on their money so that they can live the life that they want.
About the Book
The book is broken out into steps to help the reader achieve their financial goals and hopefully what they want out of life. As previously mentioned, I enjoyed the “why” sections of the book (steps one and two) which makes up almost half of the book. These steps include:
- Step ONE: Lay the Foundation – This step puts into context why smart people do dumb things with their money. Determines what your money is for. The reasons why you need to get handle on your money. Determining the right level of complexity for you and your money.
- Step TWO: Determine What You Want – Coming up with your financial goals – what do you want for your life?
- Step THREE: Develop the Plan – What is your starting point? What’s holding you back from achieving your goals? What are the top three things that you need to do? Assess and improve your cash flow, working with a financial advisor or do it yourself to come up with an investment plan.
- Step FOUR: Take Action – Just do it, how can you make sure you act on your plan?
- Step FIVE: Stay Engaged – Make it a long term engagement.
I recommend this book for just about anyone looking for more than just “do this to be financially secure”. I’m sure that I’ll be reading this book over again in the coming years.

My goals are normally things like pay down the mortgage, invest more etc, but this Christmas we are going to NZ and Australia for 6 weeks. So my goal is simply to save enough for the trip.

I actually have a name for this year financial goal. I am calling it a BS year. No, it is a different kind of BS, meaning big savings. We decided that we are not making any discretionary purchases this year, in order to pay down as much of our the debt as possible. The idea is twofold:
1. to reduce the amount of interest that we pay, of course,and
2. to be able to max out our next year RRSP, which I have not been able to do for many years now.
Additionally, I would love to finish the house renovations that I started a couple of years ago.

I have many goals for this year, many of them continuations from last year and will continue on in the forseeable future… But the big thing on my mind right now is to pay off that darned car loan! Once that’s gone I’ll have over a grand to put into savings and ease up on the budget a little :)

My goal this year is to pay down all debts, except the mortgage and try to save more via RRSP and TFSA. I already started pre-authorized deposits every 2 weeks to those accounts and will try to chip in some lump sump payments when appropriate.
Spend less than what we earn and have more savings than what we owe…a simple recipe for financial success.

So many goals, so little money! Realistic achieveable financial goals for 2011: 1. finally pay off the Line of Credit, and
2. then take that payment money and divide it between increasing my TFSA payments and establishing a car account

Well, we decimated our savings in 2010 when we bought a house and then gutted and reno’ed the kitchen and half the first floor, so in 2011, I want to build up our safety net again.

my financial goals in 2011 are:
<3 months: buy (take over) the land for cattle fish, with a capital of a bank loan for about 5 years when there is surplus capital I'll buy a car and car certificates will I make the lever to get a larger capital as a down payment to buy a house small-scale playground stores and home stores such certificate shall I mortgage to pay it off with credit for 10 years.
so I'm not too burdened by my debt, because will be paid by my cattle fish and my shop.
I hope you all will pray for me to be successful, so I MUST be praying for you all.
Thank you

Sounds like a good book.
One goal for 2011 is to significantly reduce my wife’s student loan. As I’m currently in school, we’re able to make payments directly against her principal. Hopefully reduce it by 30% or more by the end of the year.
