Daryl Rixon

The author worked for the same Bank for 43 years and in that time learnt a considerable amount about “MONEY”, although his belief of learning about money is on going. Change about our financial system over time seems inevitable. He says that he learnt how to save money from an early age and the habit of saving some money has been rewarding. Money maybe saved or spent in some form from the cradle to the grave if you like. How we save and spend money, can be the result of a profit or a loss. He believes everyone likes money. His time reading this book about money has been well spent. Reading this book can improve our knowledge about money, be encouraging, and practical before money disappears. Their friends and relatives are worth knowing also. The author is interested in nature too and plays a musical instrument in a band also of approximately 50 members. May you have an enjoyable and meaningful life as I have.
