How to Get What You Want In Life With the Money You Already Have - Softcover

Rezensionen

Given that no one ever has enough money, this is a seemingly timeless how-to from a well-known adviser on personal finance. From day-to-day bill paying to credit management, Keefe advises and relates case histories in easygoing conversational style. Her tone is reminiscent of that of a well-done infomercial or call-in show rather than a hard-sell or tough-love tract. Throughout, her advice is focused and purposeful, aimed toward the achievement of a level of financial independence and security that will allow the reader to attain (and obtain) certain goals without committing financial suicide or encumbering future earnings. This may be one of the best personal finance advice books around because of the soundness of Keefe's philosophy and its obvious applicability to ordinary people's lives. Keefe allows the reader to pass by the pie-in-the-sky, get-rich-NOW! collection and get useful financial advice that can be put into action today. Mike Tribby

The catchy title of this book alone will make you want to pick it up, and you will not be disappointed. Written in an upbeat style by a longtime professional speaker on paycheck management, it promotes energy and motivation. The book is about ridding yourself of old hang-ups concerning money (you might find yourself nodding in agreement) and redirecting your focus about bills and debt. Appealing to a diverse audience, Keeffe offers several practical examples on how to achieve personal money goals: pay yourself first, pay the minimum on credit cards, and have an awareness of interest rates. The author contends that there will always be bills to pay, so why not put some fun in your life now? This is accomplished by custom-designing savings programs that work. The central point throughout is that making choices gives you a feeling of empowerment. A welcome addition to public libraries.
