My guest on the podcast today found himself deeply in debt, despite earning significant amounts of money in his career.

He came to realise that what he didn't understand about money was really hurting him. It was the right time to get a strong financial education.

Dave Mason is the author of The Cash Machine, a novel that charts the rollercoaster relationship of characters Amber and Dylan, teaching the reader hundreds of money lessons along the way.

In our conversation today, we talk about the importance of money in relationships, why you need a clear purpose before seeking financial independence, and the secret to finding the answers you already know.

Here's my conversation with Dave Mason, author of The Cash Machine, in episode 551 of Informed Choice Radio.
