Editorial Review:

Product Description:
I wrote this book for the average person who has a job, makes a living and still canÂ’t seem to get ahead. I wrote it for the person who dreams of being rich but canÂ’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 canÂ’t seem to stop living paycheck to paycheck. I wrote this for the person who spends more than they make and canÂ’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&EÂ’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? TheyÂ’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 kidsÂ’ college, whatever your goal) this book encourages you, through easy-to-complete worksheets and LarryÂ’s bullying yet wise counsel, to make it happen. LarryÂ’s motivating message: If you want to be rich, you can. But first, you have to stop being broke, and start getting ahead. And heÂ’ll walk you through not only the necessary attitude adjustment, but the practical choices and actions that will get you there.




Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very pleasantly surprised.
I never heard of Larry Winget although as i read the book I was surprised I hadn't. I am a pretty avid reader of 'success' literature, and although I make a lot of money by most standards, I'm a spendaholic. I've read Dave Ramsey's books and like them but there was something about Dave's style that just doesn't click with me.

Larry is much more brash and abrupt but stylistically, we just clicked. He's very much into no excuses and biting the pill and handling business. I like that ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Finally, a book my husband read from cover to cover!!
I have finally found a book that my husband would read. He hates reading, he wanted to know if this was a book on tape. But I encouraged him to try it and he could not put it down. Excellent!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It's not for the faint of heart!
Larry Winget doesn't hesitate to tell you like it is...if you're willing to read some tough love and let it sink in, you'll find your life changed for the better. With today's society neck-deep in debt and wondering how to escape, this book is a great primer from going from "just getting by" to "debt-free and sucessful". It's awesome!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Tells it like it is
Here's a no-nonsense guide to dealing with the money mess you've made and want to clean up. Winget takes the chaos of your financial life, encourages you to see it for what it is, and then tells you how to change it for the better from the inside out. No silver bullet. No fairy dust. I got just the kick in the butt I needed!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - anyone can use this book
I watched Larry's show Big spender when it was on A&E. I read this book and gave it to friends. Larry don't sugar coat it. If you want the real thing and get your butt into gear this book is great. I gave it as gifts last year and only you can change yoru ways. He gives the tools to do it. And they are easy. If you are in a money rut buy this book.
