On Sunday morning 12/10/08 after an episode of Money Matters, Kel and I sat down with the best selling author the ”Barefoot Investor“, Scott Pape.
Scott shared his thoughts on Generation Y and their problems with credit card debt, how they can save and create wealth, managing mobile phone expenses and whether it is worthwhile seeking financial advice. An entertaining discussion …. do you know what Twitter is? A highlight for me, was his comment that personal finance is 80% behaviour, 20% knowledge. How true.
Scott is a regular voice on National radio (Austereo network) and writes a a weekly column for the Herald Sun, the Courier Mail and the Daily Telegraph. He is a man who sees it how it is. By his own admission, he “keeps it real”.
Scott understands that young people growing up are faced with a lot of pressures and, if they are to be successful, they are required to compete in an extremely competitive economic environment, where having a degree is by no means a ticket to a successful career and financial happiness.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy our conversation with Scott and his views on finance and helping generation Y understand money.
