About this listen

 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.©2007 Larry Winget; (P)2007 Penguin Personal Development Personal Finance Personal Success Money Management

It was a great book to listen too. Really opens your eyes and makes you realise how lazy you reall are and how much more you could be doing. Excuses are made to make yourself feel better about yourself and situation. Just shut up and do it, or you'll be ending up like these people he talks about but actually stay in that position. (There are unfortunate people that are stuck in situations where there is nothing they can do, never take your life for granted as others don't have the resources you do, to get yourself out of where you are today)
