My first book, The Money Tree, published by Pearson Prentice Hall in 2006 and named WHSmith Business Book of the Month.

Few of us are as good at making, saving and managing money as we’d like to be. It can be a complex and bewildering subject. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

This is a simple but brilliant practical guide to the main steps in mastering your personal finances – for now and the future. The step by step format makes it easy to follow and use, and it is packed with all the secrets of the best financial advisers, without all the jargon and mystique usually associated with money.

“The best finance book I’ve ever read… go out and get this as soon as you get the chance” – The IET Circuit December 2006

“Breaks down the steps of mastering personal finance into plain speak” – New Model Adviser, October 2006

“Bamford excels at making even the dullest topics interesting” – Pensions Management, October 2006

My second book, Brilliant Investing, was published by Pearson Prentice Hall in 2007.

What does it take to ensure every investment decision is a brilliant one?

Investing money always involves tough decisions. Often seen as too complex and risky, many of us fear investing and miss out on potentially big financial rewards

Brilliant Investing is set to change this. It offers clear guidance on how to make investment decisions and ensure you are successful every time. Free from jargon and focusing only on what you need to know, you’ll be equipped with all the essential skills to make smart investments in no time at all.

‘This book takes the fear right out of investing and makes every investment choice you make a brilliant one.’ – Liton Ali, Canvas Magazine

Book number three followed shortly afterwards in 2007. How to Retire 10 Years Early was another WHSmith Business Book of the Month.

Take control and retire when you want to on your own terms with How To Retire 10 Years Early.

Personal finance expert Martin Bamford has developed this unique step-by-step and highly practical programme to show every reader how it is both possible and realistic to take control of your financial future now to enjoy greater wealth earlier on in life.

From budgeting and debt destruction, through to risk taking and tax, Martin Bamford shows you how to take control and define your own retirement terms.

“…you’d have to search far and wide among the nation’s bookshelves to find a more user-friendly introduction to saving money for the future.” – Pensions Management March 2008

“… this book shows that, with a bit of hard work, the dream of retiring early is still possible… Bamford offers easy-to-follow advice and simple tools to make that elusive goal of early retirement a reality.” – Moneywise April 2008

Book number four is Ready, Steady, Retire!, co-authored with Justin King.

A meaningful retirement is worth planning for, but it doesn’t happen by accident. Ready, Steady, Retire! is full of practical advice to guide you through the minefield of planning for a successful and fulfilling retirement, and coping with the unforeseen.

As the post-war generation enters retirement in unprecedented numbers, Ready, Steady, Retire! explores the challenges that come with living for longer, but not necessarily healthier lives. These challenges have a direct impact upon retirees, and could have a considerable impact upon their families.

Ready, Steady, Retire! explains how creating a financial plan will become the key to dealing with debt, divorce, disease and even death in retirement.

Co-written by retirement planning experts Justin King and Martin Bamford, this book will help you plan your way to success in a redefined retirement.

In 2017, I was invited to contribute a chapter to Harriman’s New Book of Investing Rules.
