Summary "Everybody's Guide to Money Matters" by William Cotton, F.S.A. is a practical guide aimed at educating readers about financial management and banking, written in the late 19th century. This informative work addresses the basic principles of money, banking operations, and investment opportunities while highlighting common pitfalls in financial dealings. It particularly emphasizes the importance of financial literacy for women, who were often overlooked in money matters at that time. At the start of the book, the author explains key concepts related to money, such as its definition as a medium of exchange and the structure of currency in the United Kingdom, including detailed descriptions of coins and banknotes. The narrative introduces Miss Jane Smith, a character representing individuals who find themselves suddenly in charge of their finances, lacking the necessary knowledge to manage their money safely. The text outlines her experience of opening a bank account, the use of cheques, and the importance of keeping accurate records of transactions, establishing a foundation for the practical advice that will follow throughout the guide.
