4.0 out of 5 stars Loved this book, November 15, 2008

By	www.bookshipper.blogspot.com/ "www.bookshippe... (Montreal, Quebec) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This is exactly my type of book.

I would love to live the life that I want and still have some money to live. Yes, I admit, that I am one of those people - who bought into the whole "dream" of work hard and get rewarded at the end, so much of what author McFergus said hit home with me. I particularly liked the line "when I want money, I create it" - I loved that line and its exactly what is standing betwee me and the things I want to do.

In this book, McFergus gives us concrete ways of living the life you want and to get the money that you need (not necessarily that you want) in order to make that life happen.

So much of what I read in this book are things that I have been asking myself for years. What happened to just buying (or making) the stuff that we need? Why do we need 4 tvs and 2 cars? My grandparents managed to live just fine without travelling every few months or without going to the movies every other day. We, as a society spend too much and McFergus calls us on it.

His basic points are:

1- figure out what you NEED;
2- figure out what you want in life;
3- be willing to downsize your way of life;
4- be happy

This is truly a great little gem of a personal financial/inspirational book.

Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of meat., October 27, 2008

By	Jesse F. "Jesse F." (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

Dirk lays out more than five steps to financial freedom. Instead of doing what countless snake oil salesmen have done before him, he lays out an attainable blueprint to freedom. There's a lot of meat in this book. It's a deep read that will have you challenging what you know about your life and role as an obese shove it in your mouth consumer.

It's awesome hearing how Dirk beat the system and its enlightening to know that anyone can do it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Relevant and Useful Business Ideas, March 3, 2009

By	Jeffrey D. Mccune (Las Vegas, NV) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Besides being a fun read, this book is extremely useful to anyone looking for a way to make money in any economy. I was surprised at the depth of analysis leading to the conclusion that creating wealth is, at the core, the same for any business. McFergus' analysis of consumerism is spot-on. If you are at all curious how the quiet wealth in this country is made, you've got to check this book out. I work from home and employed just a couple of his strategies and recovered the price of the book times 100. I can't wait to read what he writes next.
