Synopsis
Now in paperback: The New York Times bestselling author and star of A&E's reality series Big Spender, Larry Winget, cleans up America's personal finance crisis
More than 40 percent of families today are feeling financial pressure: spending more than they earn, and worrying about retiring and being dependent on the government, family, or charity. Larry Winget knows. 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 multimillionaire.
In You're Broke Because You Want to Be, Winget expands on the ideas that have made his popular television show Big Spender a hit and offers straightforward talk about coming to grips with your finances, such as:
· Feel bad. Have remorse. You need to feel deep emotion to take action. So start crying and take responsibility.
· Figure out who you owe and how much you owe. It'll be a scary number to face, but you need to know where you are and what you have.
· "People are stupid, lazy, or they don't give a damn." You already know you need to do something; Larry will help you finally do something.
· Are you more interested in looking cool and being cute or providing a financially secure future for your family? How you spend your money will tell you that. With a boot-camp regimen that is steeped in personal accountability, Winget cuts through the double-talk contained in most finance books and presents a simple, guided program that is sure to motivate anyone out of their money problems.

September 14, 2009: This book was such an eye opener. It was brutally honest about why you are in a financial pickle and gives clear cut solutions. I devoured this book in 2 hours.

July 04, 2009: Mr. Winget provides a kick in the pants for anyone who is in debt or who goes spending every last dime of their paycheck. If you're like most of us (I was), you NEED this kick in the pants.
Winget provides solid ideas of how to overcome debt and earn more income. And while he doesn't coddle you, and there are no "easy" answers in here, he definitely changed my mind about what I was willing to do to get out of debt (e.g. I swallowed my pride and picked up an extra job).Thanks in part to Mr. Winget, my financial situation is much better than when I read the book.I Also Recommend: Your Money or Your Life for the 21st Century, Rich Dad Poor Dad, How to Get Out of Debt, Stay Out of Debt and Live Prosperously, The Millionaire Next Door, Why Smart People Make Big Money Mistakes and How to Correct Them.
