highly recommended

I wrote this book for the average person who has a job, makes a living and still can?t seem to get ahead. I wrote it for the person who dreams of being rich but can?t quite seem to turn his dreams into reality. I wrote this book for the person who is ready to turn his life around and finally have financial freedom. I wrote this book for the person who is covered in debt and can?t seem to stop living paycheck to paycheck. I wrote this for the person who spends more than they make and can?t figure out how to stop doing it.
--Larry Winget

If this describes you, you are not alone. Over 40% of families are feeling the pressure, spending more than they earn, and risking retiring financially dependent on the government, family, or charity. Larry Winget knows?he?s been where you are now. He grew up poor, then made and lost a fortune when a business in which he?d invested went bankrupt. But he worked his way back from rock-bottom to become a multi- millionaire.

Now he gets paid to help people in financial crisis on A&E?s reality series, Big Spender. On the show, he coaches people who have jobs, maybe even high-paying jobs, but are nevertheless in debt or living hand-to-mouth. His blunt take on their situations? They?re broke because they want to be. They all say they want stability, savings, and financial freedom, but their actions too often contradict their words. Larry helps them to see the contradiction, get back on track, and out of debt, step-by-step. He can help you, too.

Whether your aim is to get out of debt, save for a house, or simply stop kidding yourself when it comes to savings (for retirement, for your kids? college, whatever your goal) this book encourages you, through easy-to-complete worksheets and Larry?s bullying yet wise counsel, to make it happen. Larry?s motivating message: If you want to be rich, you can. But first, you have to stop being broke, and start getting ahead. And he?ll walk you through not only the necessary attitude adjustment, but the practical choices and actions that will get you there.

You are broke because you want to be.

I have to commend the guy and completely agree with him a lot of time poverty is man made.

Fun Read

I gave this book five stars because Winget is such a refreshing and, yes, fun read, especially in a nation plagued by the ever popular "everybody's a victim" and "it's never my fault" mentalities. Early in the book Winget demolishes many of the standard excuses people use as to why they are broke. His style is rude and abrasive, but frankly many people need a wake up from the "woe is me" molly-coddling thought patterns they have settled into. Life was never meant to be a walk through the garden and Winget makes that plain.

The core advice is fairly standard "work harder and spend less", but the text is spiced by numerous (often humerous) examples from his A&E show. Of course, the advice is standard because, despite the fact that it works, many people lack the discipline to follow it.

Highly recommended and entertaining reading even if you are not broke yourself.

Excellent

I recieve it in about seven days and the book was in excellent condition. I read the book cover to cover in one weekend, that how good it was.

You're broke because you want to be.

This book is great for those who don't want any fluff and sympathy. My debt was caused mainly because of 9/11 and the affect it had on my business, as I lost most of my small business customers almost overnight. Its been difficult to not only rebuild my business, but still keep my head above water to pay my creditors. Larry gives you easy homework, I've read the book completely, and knowing what my homework will be in order to get back on track, I've given myself the time and direction to gather the information needed to complete the homework tasks and move in a much more forward positive direction. Thank you Larry for putting out such an easy to read and practical book for those of us who just need simple, uncluttered help in trying to get out of the jam we are in and looking forward to less stress and more savings.
