{"product_id":"what-it-takes-mark-bouris-9781741756852","title":"What It Takes: An Attitude of Hard Work, Commitment and Purpose","description":"In 2002 Mark Bouris (founder of Wizard Home Loans, Australia) launched his first book, \u003ci\u003eWealth Wizard\u003c\/i\u003e. The book covered the issue of personal debt: mortgages, credit cards, and loans. It showed normal Australians how borrowing could build wealth. Written by a person who made his own mistakes with borrowing as a younger man, the simple message of \u003ci\u003eWealth Wizard\u003c\/i\u003e was that debt can be a tool rather than a burden. In the intervening five years many things have changed. People are more in debt than they were in 2002; credit card companies are in a price war, housing prices have fallen, and interest rates are going up. During this time, women have emerged as the fastest growing sector of mortgage-borrowers. And increasingly, friends, siblings, young people, and gay couples are combining to enter into the home-buying market using financial and legal arrangements not seen ten years ago. What's more, baby boomers - who are supposed to be in pre-retirement mode - have become one of the most aggressive groups of borrowers. Trends and societal shifts have made a rewritten, updated edition of the original book essential. \u003ci\u003eWealth Maker\u003c\/i\u003e addresses all of the above and much, much more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Bouris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1741756855\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781741756852\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Allen \u0026amp; Unwin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Mark Bouris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44756775829759,"sku":"9781741756852","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8044214a-3f76-4760-ae35-e2333397a142.jpg?v=1706593818","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-it-takes-mark-bouris-9781741756852","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
