This book remains on the top of my list of favorites. My wife and I (both fans of the book) have made significant improvements to our financial status in the past two years since reading "The Four Laws". I mean significant! We've paid off $29K in credit card debt, invested the same amount in mutual funds, both are able to max out our 401(k) plans, have met our contribution limits to our Roth IRA's already and are planning our next visit to ski in Austria (...)! That is our story now. It was far from pretty before reading the book. It is important to note, like anything worthwhile, it takes goal setting, planning and follow-through to achieve. This book lit a fire that no other book could. In fact, about 10 of my friends have received a copy of their own as gifts from us. Simply a great feeling knowing that I can control my life and help others to achieve the same experience. Peace, love and happiness!

Take an evening to read this (it's only 100 pages). It's an easy read, but be warned: if you put the 4 laws into practice, it will change your life! As a financial advisor, I have read dozens of books and attended many seminars on debt reduction (some good, some bad); NONE of which could match this book's simplicity and applicability to ANY person in ANY situation (without changing your income!). That's no exaggeration. If brevity is the sole of wit, this book is a tome of wisdom that should be required reading in every high school and college. It's a faithful adaptation of the amazingly basic, yet often overlooked principles of sound financial decision making. The examples are realistic, and the instructions easy to follow. Your greatest challenge will be re-training your brain to set your priorities differently, but believe me, it's worth it! I have given copies of this book to clients, friends, and every member of my family. Truly the most life-changing book I've read since Stephen Covey's "7 habits of highly effective people".

This book lays it so simply - how to get out of debt, including paying off your house mortgage, in five years or less. I now see how it is happening for me! And what is great is that you don't have to earn more income, it doesn't make any difference how much you earn, it's all about how you spend your money. Great book for everyone, and get the teens to read it now!

At last! A finance book I can read like a story! Not boring, lecturing, or intimidating like other books of this nature. This book literally saved my financial future. I am now on the road to debt free prosperity, and feeling great about life. My perspective on money and how I spend it has changed completely.

I purchased the audiotape of this book and listened to it on my daily commute. The presentation of the idea was very simple and made me feel like I could follow their suggestions too! I sat down and worked out my tracking, target, trimming, and training goals and realized that with all of my debt...I could be paid off and debt free by April of 2003 (and I had lots of debts from just finishing my doctorate). I also mentioned some of the ideas in this tape to my 13 year old (that if a 15 year old puts $7 aside each month until s/he was 65...and received 15% return...that they'd be a millionaire at retirement). She, too, is excited about the rules given in this book.

This is an excellent book. It is less than 120 pages. It reads like a story. Starting with man hacking his fake Xmas tree to bits and ending with financial freedom, a real friend, and a new lease on life! I loved it! I have sent copies to family members who have actually thanked me and implemented what they read! I plan to send out more this year. It's a funny, no-nonsense look at getting out of debt. I think I'll go and re-read it again!

This is such a great book! I have 12 on order to give to friends. This book can turn you into the truly independent person you should be. Understanding and avoiding pitfalls that have become a part of being American. Maybe I need to order more than 12.......

1. It's an easy read! My wife and I read it a couple days apart and neither of us could put it down! I was amazed at how simple the suggestions were based on solid financial principles.
2. By implementing the methods in this book, we were able to immediately identify things we needed to fix financially and implement a plan of action.
3. Everyone you know should read this book. After reading it yourself, all your friends will want to know what you know because you'll be out of debt, and they'll want to know how you did it so quickly!
4. Being in debt is a major cause for concern in any relationship. If you can get a handle on debt, and GET RID of it, your relationships WILL improve, as will your lifestyle.

This book can assist you in becoming completely debt free, and giving you the wisdom you need to STAY that way.

This book was well-written and very helpful. I recommend this book for anyone looking for a simple, but effective way to put a good dent in your debt. Don't be mistaken into thinking that it's easy. It takes a great deal of discipline, but it works and it won't empty your pocket.

If your finances are out of control, this is the book for you! This book will help you develop a realistic spending plan that will help you be debt free in 5 years, and that includes your home. If I can do it, anyone can!!
