You're Broke Because You Want to Be: How to Stop Getting By and Start Getting Ahead
Date undefinedI gave this book five stars because Winget is such a refreshing and, yes, fun read, especially in a nation plagued by the ever popular "everybody's a victim" and "it's never my fault" mentalities. Early in the book Winget demolishes many of the standard excuses people use as to why they are broke. His style is rude and abrasive, but frankly many people need a wake up from the "woe is me" molly-coddling thought patterns they have settled into. Life was never meant to be a walk through the garden and Winget makes that plain.
The core advice is fairly standard "work harder and spend less", but the text is spiced by numerous (often humerous) examples from his A&E show. Of course, the advice is standard because, despite the fact that it works, many people lack the discipline to follow it.
Highly recommended and entertaining reading even if you are not broke yourself.

Date undefinedI have to commend the guy and completely agree with him a lot of time poverty is man made.
