Broke is the bomb!!!
I loved this book!!!! I finished it in 3 days flat. I have been telling all my friends about this and
start
ing to use some of Larry's ideas. He is so brutally honest, but he tells the truth and makes so much sense!!!! Will get his others for sure.
A Wake Up Call
I bought this book for my son who is just
getting
his
start
on his own. I also bought myself "It's Called Work for a Reason"
because
it looked interesting and educational (it was)!. When I finished reading that book, I
want
ed to read more of Larry Winget's thoughts so I took "
You're
Broke
Because You Want to Be" off the shelf in my son's room.
"You're Broke Because You Want to Be" is a wake up call to anyone who wants to get out of debt. The book addresses all the major issues that cause people to get into debt and gives a constructive plan for getting out of debt. The book also motivates the reader to go beyond debt management to developing a plan to get rich. Even for someone who already has debt under control, there are suggestions for improving your financial situation and making your life comfortable and less stressful.
Larry Winget has a no-nonsense writing style. The books are not wrapped up in fancy words or complicated financial formulas. They are designed for anyone to read and understand. In addition, this book comes with several internet bonuses to add to the learning process for those who want more.
I believe that someone serious about getting out of debt would be successful by following the principals of this book. The tips for getting rich are more about attitude than a specific guide,
how
ever, the stories of five people who made the struggle from poor to rich are represented in the book to show how important a strong desire for success is to actually achieve success.
While Larry Winget will tell you he is not a "motivational" speaker, the book is an excellent tool toward self-motivation.

Sometimes A Person Needs A Kick In The Arse!
If
you
're the kind of person who doesn't believe in 'tough-love' and can't handle out-and-out bluntness, then this book isn't for you...in fact, it might make you end up seeking therapy if you're really insecure and lack a serious amount of self-awareness( or at least the willingness to become more self-aware).
But, if you're only kinda insecure and self-aware enough to know that the financial messes you've gotten yourself into are nobody's fault but your own, then I highly recommend this book.
Winget is no-nonsense in his approach to
getting
you back on your feet and out of the pits of
broke
-ness.
He has some excellent ideas, none of which will be easy, to help you
start walking
the path of actually not living paycheck to paycheck, or worse...spending so far outside your means, you don't know even have a clue
how
bad your situation is.
My one and only complaint about this book is that Winget often mentions how he was poor, then rich, then bankrupt, then rich again...but he never ever mentions how long it took him to go from broke to rich. It's just one of those details I would've liked to know about while reading the book.
If you don't have a starting point for getting out of debt, snag this book, NOW! Though the principles aren't easy, they are pretty easy to implement, IF you really
want
to!
Winget gets a solid 4.5 in my book (no pun intended)

Everyone should read this.
I know Larry tagged this with a video explaining who should buy this book... but the real answer is that everyone should read it. We're all looking for a quick fix solution, but this book is the real deal.
How
do
you
eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
I can't think of a single person I know who wouldn't take at least one thing away from this. It's a fast read, but it's not dumbed down in the slightest. I would say just read 30 min/night every weeknight for a week, but the reality was, I couldn't put it down... I read it one day after work, cover to cover. Buy it & share it...
