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 itfor the person who dreams of being rich but can't quite seem to turn his dreams into reality. I wrote this book for theperson who is ready to turn his life around and finally have financial freedom. I wrote this book for the person who iscovered in debt and can't seem to stop living paycheck to paycheck. I wrote this for the person who spends more thanthey make and can't figure out how to stop doing it.--Larry WingetIf 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 beenwhere you are now. He grew up poor, then made and lost a fortune when a business in which he'd invested wentbankrupt. 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, hecoaches people who have jobs, maybe even high-paying jobs, but are nevertheless in debt or living hand-to-mouth. Hisblunt 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, getback 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 (forretirement, for your kids' college, whatever your goal) this book encourages you, through easy-to-complete worksheetsand Larry's bullying yet wise counsel, to make it happen. Larry's motivating message: If you want to berich, you can. But first, you have to stop being broke, and start getting ahead. And he'll walk you through not onlythe necessary attitude adjustment, but the practical choices and actions that will get you there.
