"I finished it in one day! It has given me heaps of ideas on how to better manage my money especially when it comes to investing for my kids, now I'm getting them to read it too."

"Brendan has written a book that every Kiwi would benefit from. The introduction said it will be like "getting free tips from your accountant over drinks" and that's really what it was like. I never guessed stories about the sharemarket could be so interesting! It was effortless to read and packed with advice I'd never thought about, I loved it."

As someone who has followed the moneybren page since the beginning I was familiar with Bren's ideas but the book exceeded my expectations completely, I totally raced through it. I loved his side hustle stories which made it much more entertaining than the usual money advice book. I'll definitely be recommending it to my friends and parents.

the author
After starting @moneybren, I have encouraged people to read every day. I've recommended hundreds of books, but there hasn't been a money book for Kiwis that I've truly loved and shared.
So - I tried writing it myself.
The First $100K was written to be the most approachable book for anyone beginning their journey into investing. A book with real-life stories, relatable examples, and hopefully, one you will give to your friends afterwards and honestly say, “This is the most helpful book on money I’ve ever read.”
If you're new to @moneybren, here's a little about me:
