Just What I Needed

So much sense comes out painful honesty when you're ready to hear it! I loved his approach and the information was extremely helpful. Nothing I didn't really know before, but his approach drove it home.

In Your Face No Holds Bar

I received this book today and finished it today. I could not put it down, the Larry puts things is awesome. It's in your face, and there is not room to wiggle. He makes you realize that you are the one that got into your situation and that you are the only one that is going to get you out of it.

If you are tired of living the way that you are, give this book a try and see it change your world also. I plan to hit the ground running, I am tired of living paycheck to paycheck. I want to be able to write that check when someone needs help.

Cheers,

Great read, but missing one section

I enjoyed reading this book. It forced me to quit blaming all of my financial problems on outside forces and circumstances and realize just how much worse I was making things by spending money that didn't need to be spent.

However, the book is missing just one important section, that should be called "How to convince your family that they need to follow this book". My fiance is just as bad as I am about wanting to live above our means. The problem is that he doesn't seem willing to reduce our standard of living so that we can pay of the debt faster and improve things. "Things will be great 5 years down the road" doesn't give him enough encouragement to live without luxeries (dining out, high speed internet, etc) until then.

Reading the book, I agreed with alot of the points the author made, but also spent a lot of time thinking "okay, so how I do convince S/O to go along with it.

Stings a little at first...

Wow. Are you kidding me? Larry Winget is either psychic... which I don't believe in psychic phenomena... or he's just met and worked with more folks with MY (probably your) kind of problem than any other guy in the field.

I was mad, I was hurt, I was angry, I cried... And then I got to page two. Seriously, if you need a wake up call and the TOOLS and, just as importantly, the MOTIVATION to wake up and stop screwing up your financial future... and that of your kids... buy this book YESTERDAY. That's more than a suggestion; it's a commandment. get the book. Holy cr@p!

To the Point

He is to the point and does not mix words. If you are in financial trouble this guy will tell you exactly what to do. Whether you like what he says or not.

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.
