Zero: Financial Knowledge 2026/27 Edition
The UK Personal Finance Guide School Never Gave YouBy Darren SterlingRecorded TrackLength7h 46m
About this audiobook
The financial education the UK school system never gave you. From your first payslip to your final pension, Zero is a no-jargon, beginner-first guide to the money decisions that shape your life — tax, savings, ISAs, pensions, mortgages, investments, insurance, wills, and the digital legacy nobody plans for. This 2026/27 edition is fully refreshed for the new UK tax year, with current thresholds, allowances and rates so the numbers you hear match the numbers on your payslip today. The author threads his own twenty-year journey through the same decisions — first house, first pension, first investments — making it useful whether you're starting your first job or finally figuring out what your pension actually does. Educational, not advice. Plain English. No selling.
