Congratulations! You finally have a real life. Paying the minimum balance on your credit cards has lost its charm. Your parents have decided that, after three decades of life, you can start living without their money. You've decided you can't quit your job in a fit of pique because then you'll starve. You're finally getting a twentieth-century paycheck and look forward to earning your IQ, not just your age. Great. Now what do you do? For starters, you listen to Tod Barnhart. He can help. A Kick in the Assets will walk you through the hundred easy steps you need to follow to become a financial happy camper. With easy-to-follow instructions and periodic to-do lists, A Kick in the Assets demystifies money and makes you realize that though it be the root of all evil, money's not all that scary. Barnhart's previous book, The Five Rituals of Wealth, spent three months on the Business Week bestseller list, and he hosts a weekly show on The People's Network. He was a millionaire by twenty-seven, the youngest licensed financial counselor in the country at age nineteen, and named "Wall Street's Hottest Young Gun," by Money magazine. So let Tod Barnhart give you a much-needed kick in the assets, and soon you'll be able to drop that decimal point from your net worth.

1.0 out of 5 stars
A waste of time and money,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Kick in the Assets : Ten Take-Charge Strategies for Building the Wealth You Want (Hardcover)
This book contains 2 things: motivational techniques to get you to "go for it" in the area of finances and some sketchy details about what and how to do it. The motivational techniques are taken almost verbatim from Tony Robbins's Personal Power series. (I realize that Tod was a student of and eventually teacher for Tony Robbins but pleeeeeeese.) If you want or need the motivation, do yourself a favor and go to the source. Get Personal Power II. As for the financial advice? It is general (very few details) and obvious and has been covered more thoroughly and better in 100 other books. Buy any of Ric Edelman's books instead. As Tod says, "I could wax cliche-ically forever on this subject." And he did. The one saving grace is that this book is an easy read so you should be able to dispense with it in an afternoon.

Really makes taking control of your finances "do-able.",
By EAGER97@AOL.COM (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Kick in the Assets : Ten Take-Charge Strategies for Building the Wealth You Want (Hardcover)
Tod Barnhart takes a subject that makes many of us cringe, the taking control of our finances, and puts it in an easy to read and fun way that makes you look forward to reading parts of it everyday. Not your ordinary talking down to us "common" folks when it comes to finances. Tod gives you exercises that makes you look at where you may have lost or never had control and find out how to get it (back). By doing Tod's exercises at the end of every section yo become responsible for your own finances and this same responsibility carries over into your entire life. A good read for today's life style, if you read the book pro-actively and do the exercises.

Great book! Fantastic motivator for focusing on goals.,
By Ralph Phillips (rphilli2@helios.acomp.usf.edu) (Tampa, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Kick in the Assets : Ten Take-Charge Strategies for Building the Wealth You Want (Hardcover)
This book is great! The topics are quick and to the point. The "to do" lists at the end of each section are within reach, and I'll bet even hard-core procrastinators will be lost for words. I would recommend this book even for those who feel good about their finances, as the motivating topics and goal-oriented theme can positively impact lives in general.
