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.
