Wow

If there's one guy I'd like to meet in this world it would be Larry. No nonsense, tell it like it is, stuff my parents should have taught me (however I'm not blaming them, Larry) Thanks for this book!!!

Awesomely true...now do what he says.

Would you listen to You're Broke Because You Want to Be again? Why?

Yes. This was a great book that speaks the truth. If you get mad while listening to it, it's because he's speaking directly too you.

Have you listened to any of Larry Winget’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

no.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. I split it up in several different time periods so as to digest it better.

Any additional comments?

I'm not broke, actually, I practice a lot of the techniques in this book already. Yet, I still learned from it. You can too.

Straight Talk

I love his no nonsense down to earth style. He tells the truth and is not afraid of hurting your feelings. This type of teaching is hard but it gets results.

Real Talk For The Hungry

If you could sum up You're Broke Because You Want to Be in three words, what would they be?

This book is the conversation adults need to have with their kids. I wish someone could have said this stuff to me. Thanks so much for being transparent.

Get your financial house in order

Very informative. Great book if you're able to look yourself in the mirror and be honest about your financial situation. You may not like what Larry has to say, but deep down, you know it's true. Love the authors no BS approach. He doesn't sugar coat things, he just tells the hard, uncomfortable truths.

Larry is always on point. I learned a lot. Many things I already knew, but needed to hear again.
