Book Reviews of You're Broke Because You Want to Be: How to Stop Getting By and Start Getting Ahead
Book Review: He tells it like it is
Summary: 5 Stars
Larry does not sugarcoat anything. He tells you what you're doing wrong and how to fix it. I'm willing to bet that he is right too! I hate to read. I have not read a book since college (4 years ago), but i read this one in less then a day. If you are struggling and can not figure out what to do, go ahead and pick this book up. You may not like what it tells you, but you'll be better off for it.Book Review: A "tell it like it is" book that is worth the read
Summary: 5 Stars
I sat down in a B Dalton bookstore and started reading this book. After a few pages I knew that I had to purchase it and take it home. What Larry tells you comes as no surprise. It is all common sence that I could have gotten from my saintly grandmother had she still been living. We have forgotten what has made America strong. Our success has been the work effort that our country was founded on. But we have shifted to living a life of comfort on credit, which has only lead to our being broke, miserable and unhappy. Larry suggests that we carve away the excesses that have gotten us in trouble and live a simplier life till we master our finances. Then we will have the money necessary to live the life we desire. Simple, but hard to follow if you have become accustomed to getting what you want and to H**l with the consequences. His book is a wake up call to anyone who has the intelligence to take his advise. Well worth the money spent to read the book.Book Review: I saw Larry in person!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was in Orlando at a convention, and I saw Larry Winget speaking. He was AWESOME! He spoke in a break out session on this book. I then bought and read the book. It did not take me long. It is thoughtful, entertaining, and eye opening. WOW! He is a straight shooter and does not say things all nice and sweet. But he makes his point to get you to turn things around in your life. Larry Winget is an amazing speaker and author! This book should be read by every single American. Especially in the state of our economy. Buy it! Read it! Apply it in your life. You will be glad you did! Book Review: ONE OF THE BEST PERSONAL FINANCE/BECOMING WEALTHY BOOKS
Summary: 5 Stars
Larry Winget is truly a guy I can relate with. His personal style of straight talk instead of the BS is what makes me trust him. Not only that, Larry doesn't fill the book up with hype and get people's hopes up for nothing. No, this book is about common sense, practicality, and truly American in the sense that it reminds us that our financial destiny is in our hands. We live in the greatest country on the planet and we have no excuse when it comes to getting rich and achieving financial prosperity. I really liked how Larry tells you to find that one great idea that will change your life and start doing it. This book is so important to me (along with Larry's other book It's Called Work for A Reason) that I plan on sharing it with my close friends, family, and definitely my kids as they get older. Buy this book, read it, highlight it, take notes and prepare to do what's necessary to get ahead. Book Review: You're broke because you want to be.
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
