Speaking as someone who doesn't have a trust fund or live off the dividends from their investments--in other words, someone who needs their paycheck to survive--I found this book to be invaluable. The author definitely knows his stuff, and he gets beyond the usual spin on the "spend less than you earn" convention wisdom that usually comes packaged in books like this--instead, he offers real-life investing strategies that work. If you're serious about building wealth and your last name isn't Rockefeller, then this is the book for you.

In his new book, Building Wealth in a Paycheck-to-Paycheck World, Paul Petillo shines a light on the path to economic empowerment for all the sorry saps like me who've never learned the art of saving and investing our hard earned money. It's all too easy in this consumer based market to spend every dime we make without having anything solid to show for it.

But, as it turns out, I can save and invest my income so that as the years roll on I'll have substantial wealth as a reward for my hard work. Petillo breaks it down for us with easy to obsorb instructions and insites.

I highly recommend his book to anyone weary of the never ending hand-to-mouth cycle of earning and spending.

The Title was excellent, but the book broke down into storytelling and facts about investing from someone who probably only uses CNBC as a factfinding reference. Very simplistic advice, goes into detail on Mutual Funds, REITs(defines them).Such things anyone past junior high school age would know.
I should write my own tomes and pocket the money, that would be my own fix for other sources of income. You'd be better served reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad"
