Do you want to get to the stage – soon – where you are truly financially independent, able to use your money in the way you’d like, and be completely confident in your ability to take care of yourself and your family?
That is a universal desire, but many of us regard wealth and financial independence as a goal which we’ll likely never achieve – there are just too many bills that need paying and there is a widespread belief that the money game is rigged. Even people who win the lottery or inherit money often seem to wind up losing it. The evidence suggests you can’t win a game that you don’t understand – even if you start out winning – because you never understood the game in the first place.
So how can you win with money? How can you create independent wealth and hold on to it? This inspiring book by self-made multi-millionaire Rob Moore explains the rules of the game, shares simple tricks for managing money better, details how to create a plan for an ambitious future, and shows you the very best way to become a millionaire – to think and behave like one!

I’d never heard of Rob Moore prior to reading Money – Know More, Make More, Give More. The book came up as recommended by Amazon based on something I’d recently bought. Since initially buying the Audible book in April 2018, I’ve purchased three paperbacks for friends/family and one for myself. And I’ve re-listened to the Audible book. Rob’s book has been nothing short of transformative for me and my husband.
Husband – PhD in Economics from a top Uni. After his family experienced difficult money problems when my husband was a teenager, his relationship with money has always been complex. He’s made a lot, but never enough to assure him that he didn’t have to worry. He felt guilty when he had extra yet was hesitant to give any away (including to charities, as tips, etc.) Let’s just say he always managed his money VERY carefully, but still was never happy/relaxed that he was in a good place, despite saving an impressive amount.
Me – since age 13 when I started babysitting, then waiting on tables to earn money through Uni, I’ve always had a “spend it while you have it” attitude. Apart from a sizeable private pension that (thankfully) my mum urged me to invest in in my early 20s, I’ve never saved a penny.
In 15 years of marriage, we’ve had our share of spats and disputes – no more or less than the average couple, I think. And the one thing at the root of every single one of these disagreements – money. Looking back through the years, I’m sure each of us felt like we were “right”. Husband trying to keep the money in the bank, invest wisely for a rainy day and me trying to “live for the moment” and be over generous with charities and homeless people and stray cats… (you name it) while severely undercharging for my consulting services and not bringing in my share of the income.
This book has given us so much. It offers a stunning combination of history money and wealth, mechanics of money and the philosophy/psychology of poverty vs. wealth. It has pointed out that both of us have so much to learn about money. As Rob points out, learning to make a lot of money is a bit like learning to play golf, or a piano.. or to do anything that requires skill; learn from the people you respect the most, take risks and practice. But more fundamental than that, Rob urges the reader to understand his/her purpose in life; what do you have to offer that makes you unique in the world and that few, if any, could do better. And then he asks us to master that skill and charge what we’re worth, and no less! “Fair Exchange” is a concept that Rob uses throughout the book in his urging to get people to stop underselling themselves.
But the book is so much more than that. It really offers a complete set of practical knowledge paired with ideas and tools to support wealth creation. Whether you want to tweak an already good relationship with money or whether you need an entire overhaul, this book has content that will have you considering and reconsidering how you see money.
This book has fundamentally changed both me and my husband as individuals. It offers a common vocabulary for us to share when we talk about how we’ve hindered ourselves (and our marriage) in the past through our ignorance of money matters. Both of us have made dramatic changes in how we view and treat money – moving us each toward a healthy middle ground. Since reading this book two months ago, we have not had a single argument. Not one. It’s like this book has equipped us with a new lens with which to view everything – projects, investments, bank accounts, whether to tip a waiter, everything. We are super excited as we apply Rob’s concepts to our personal and business affairs. So far, very good!!
I’m only hoping that Rob soon decides to write a verison of this book for parents to help bring some of these concepts into raising the next generation. And I hope he gets involved in a charity/cause to see that teenagers and young adults receive some of this guidance in school. So many lives would be dramatically improved if we could instil healthy money views and habits in people early in life.

Couldn’t put the book down. Rob manages to map out the road to success in a technical/analytical, but at the same time, completely simplified & sensical way. It filled me with hope, joy & drive to really make something of my life.

The above is a satirical take on how some will regard this book. Most people we know will take great pains to avoid their minds being contaminated by somebody like Rob showing how close and how far they are from wealth. Buying a lottery ticket, inheriting, becoming rich and famous by luck or chance, all happen in our imagination. However, I can assure you that you cannot replicate in a carbon copy way, what Rob has achieved, only do your version of it which will be “simple but not easy.”
Yes, you could have the mindset that buying this book is going to make Rob even wealthier and you even poorer by about 10 scratchcards or lucky draw tickets. Unless you read it from cover to cover, making notes and decisions and taking action, it could be as damaging as another failed diet. More than any other book Rob has written, this book is accomplished, comprehensive and heartfelt. I have seen him and heard him get better and better in everything he does. However, I mean it when I say that you MAY be better taking your money elsewhere, to another book that offers a more attainable benefit.
Rob and the training companies he runs, are an opportunity to squander tens, hundreds and thousands of pounds, or to transform your financial future, depending on your level of dedication. How do I know? I have been to Rob’s courses on and off for about 10 years and what I got out matches my level of commitment. I don’t need the money any more but I do need the attitude. This is why I have purchased the book. Rob is a continuous learner and tremendous at applying that knowledge. I can’t sincerely tell you that this is the best book ever written, although it shouldn’t disappoint. However, both Rob and Mark are great role models, both personally and professionally. Hope I have helped you with your purchasing decision.

I disagree with some statement in this book, and strongly oppose it.
But it was the most important book in my life, as I found my way out of the darkness.
And when the sun has risen in my life I saw nothing but dense fog.
I read this book – and suddenly fog has dissolved and vanish, and the clear picture of life is in front of me. It beautiful picture.
