Recently I turned 22 and feel that my life is well and truly on its way. I started further study one month ago and felt pretty darn good about myself anyway. Then I picked up my Father’s copy of ‘Getting It Together’ and have not put it down. Its pages are covered in highlighter, I think it’s great. My father is a 56-year-old businessman and he says he still reads your book every 6 months as a refresher. Thank you for writing such an easy to read and motivational book. It has really got me going! I’m just about to place an order for ‘Making Money Made Simple’, which I will pass on to my dad after I read it. You’re a champ!

Thank you so much for your advice. I religiously read your Sunday Mail column and have gained so much insight about, not only financial matters, but also, indirectly, you have led me down the path of self fulfillment. This time last year you recommended the books “The Richest Man in Babylon” and “50 Success Classics” as great gifts for Christmas. I bought them for my husband and have now claimed them as my own.

Thank you so much for giving me the inspiration I needed.

I am a first year Accounting student, and at 24 years of age this year have finally found some direction. Five years ago I began a law degree and quit after 6 months due to lack of funds and motivation. After a failed relationship, I bought 'Making Money Made Simple' last year, for something stimulating to read. Soon after I acquired 'Golden Rules of Wealth', 'More Money' and 'Shares Made Simple'. It wasn't just the financial advice, more the power of motivation that gave me the boost that I needed to get back on track.

Thank you for your knowledge and inspiration.

I read ‘Making Money Made Simple’ in 1989 and soon after began a savings plan. I was broke, 24 and started at $150 per week. I soon got the idea and found some ways to increase my savings and learn about investing. I am now 37, own my home outright, have savings, shares, super and financed a business for my wife. I would like to say that although you have never met me, you have been an important influence in my life and I thank you for making my life better.

I was a kiwi living in London about 11 years ago when I found your book. I spent a lot of time at the bookstore reading it before one day I eventually coughed up the 7 pounds and purchased it. That book was a defining point in my life. I was working as an electrician so applied to do lots of overtime. Started saving the 2000 then 4000 etc. Bought my first house with $7000 deposit (rented out the rooms, even to Australians). It all seemed to happen quickly after that. Ended up with 8 London houses and a cash flow 2.5 times my wages (after expenses, before tax). Have now returned to NZ and sold the last UK property a few weeks ago. I have not 'worked' for 3 years now and do not ever intend to. I have a net worth of about $3.7 million floating around at the moment. I have two men to thank for this: one is me – the other is you.

I first read ‘Making Money Made Simple’ in 1992 and it was really a life changing experience in that it made me pay some attention to our personal finances. I now have been keeping a balance sheet and a profit/loss account of sorts for about 10 years. More importantly, we are investing first and "consuming" what is left over, rather than the other way around. Thank you for writing this and your other books as they have all been immensely helpful.

Sensible people everywhere should be building monuments in your honour for the principled way you have set about educating us all in how to secure a reasonable financial future. I have bought several of your books and your Wealth Building kit and have found them to be invaluable.

Years ago I met you at a money show in Adelaide. I have three of your books, followed your advice and am now financially independent and retired. My wife and I now spend our time doing what we wish to do - going on holiday, visiting restaurants and the theatre, etc. We still save 10% of our income.

Taking charge of our own destiny was the best thing we did. Thank you.

It was a pleasure for me to hear you speak. You do make making money simple! For someone who was not brought up in a business environment, making money and being successful was always a mystery for me. Thank you for the little ‘Money Tips’ book, I have put it beside my bed and read it last thing at night and first thing in the morning.

Many thanks for all your emails – we love them! Thanks very much for all the radio shows and info you give....it keeps this country ticking. Your sound advice does more than you'll ever know. Thank you!

‘Making Money Made Simple’ was the first "money/investment" book that I read at the age of 19 or 20. It changed my mindset and made me believe that anything was possible, even on the smallest of incomes. Since then I’ve read almost all of your books. I've gone from thinking that buying my own house would be near impossible to owning several – and all this on one income!

Noel, if it wasn't for you I would not have realised how bright the future could be.

More than a message, your books have been more of an awakening to the future possibilities that a managed financial future could bring. Using the information and advice from your books has enabled me to be the master of my own destiny regardless of income level or background.

I am one of your biggest fans and first saw you 17 years ago in Perth. Since then I have all your books, read your articles and tell as many people as possible about you. Your passion for teaching people about personal finance is inspirational. I can't thank you enough for what you have done for me and making me realise that if I put my mind to it and I genuinely believe in it, that I can achieve anything. Every morning I get up I can't wait to get to work and, for the first time in my life, I absolutely love my job.

Once again thank you so much, you have no idea what a difference you have made to me.

I personally wish there were a lot more Noel Whittaker's in this world!
