Description of Detox your finances

"Did you know you're a millionaire? As an average citizen you'll probably spend at least one million pounds in the course of your working life. You're also likely to spend more than you earn, fail to realise your full earning potential and buy lots of stuff you don't really want or need. I know I did, but I decided to change. I had some ideas to get myself out of debt and financial denial and I put them into practice. Since then I've helped thousands of people sort out their own finances and now I can help you. That's my story. This is yours. It starts here…" John Middleton
