Merry Christmas to 5 Adult Broke Children

We perused the financial section at the bookstore, looking for an appropriate financial book to motivate our grown children. We have 5 kids over 30, none of whom get it financially. This book, with a notepad, a journal, a red pen and a check is our Christmas gift and very last attempt to wake them up. Larry's put it exactly like we've been telling them the last ten years -- it's their poor choices that have put them where...

The Top Ten Reasons Why I Love Larry

Wonderful Personal Finance Primer

Larry Winget is just what I've been needing in my life for a long time.

But there were plenty of other opportunities...

Fantastic Book on Managing Money!

Why is this book different? First, it gives you a proven, simple step-by-step process to dramatically improve your financial situation. None of those fancy, complicated theories are included. Instead, the techniques in the book are very specific and you can begin applying them immediately. Second, this book will actually inspire you to start taking action right away. Don't just "skim over" the book hoping for that one-sentence...

Best book on finance available

This book is a must buy for anyone that doesn't have a secure financial grip on life. Larry makes you take a hard internal look at the way you earn, spend and save money. Through real life stories of himself and others, he gives direct, no fluff actions to apply, solving any financial disaster. No more excuses are allowed. The video download is excellent and supplements the book perfectly. I also like Larry's blog and newsletter...
