Common questions

Do I need to be good with money?

No. The guide is built for someone who needs a starting point. It uses plain language, short time blocks, and one-page worksheets.

Will this tell me what to close, transfer, or invest?

No. This weekend is for finding and organizing information. Use qualified professionals for decisions specific to your accounts, decree, taxes, credit, insurance, or investments.

What happens after I enter my email?

Your download unlocks immediately. Book updates and occasional first-year money guidance are sent only if you separately choose to receive them.

Is my financial information collected?

No. The site collects the contact details you submit, not your account names, balances, debts, or worksheet answers.

Is the free guide the same as the book?

No. The Money Sweep delivers one complete weekend result: a clear starting picture. The book continues through budgeting, banking, credit, housing, paperwork, taxes, savings, retirement, income, and protection across the first year.
