Buy this book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: True Prosperity: Your Guide to a Cash-Based Lifestyle (Paperback)
Ken Knouse has written a clear and extremely useful guide
for the hordes of people sinking under the burden of consumer
debt, as well as anybody who wants to have the freedom of
living below their means. The fact that he, himself, was once
one of the consumer debt horde gives him the kind of real-life
credibility that cannot be had any other way. He and his wife
are accessible role models because most readers can relate
to their lives. I find the fact that they are ordinary people who
have done extraordinary financial feats very inspiring.
Knouse's main premise is that financial problems, in the
large percentage of American homes, are a result of poor
money management. What a hopeful statement! If you believe
that things will only be better if you get a higher-paying job,
win the lottery, etc., then achieving that goal seems quite
difficult. If you believe, however, that you have sufficient
funds, but insufficient skills at managing them, then change
is well within your reach by simply setting yourself to learn
those skills. True Prosperity lays out the information you need
to get on that path. It's one of those books whose worth is much
more than the cover price.

This book is the key to success for anyone seeking wealth!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: True Prosperity: Your Guide to a Cash-Based Lifestyle (Paperback)
As a financial counselor for the military and DOD civilians, I have encountered a gereral lack of education and awareness in finanical planning. I have long searched for a text that is geared to mainstream families. The author emphasizes the need for most of us to examine the basic building blocks of wealth and position. I emphatically support this money philosophy because it works!!! How do I know? Because I have benefitted from this knowledge by establishing a debt-free, investment rich lifestyle that has allowed me to independently fund my college education, travel and retirement. If you feel that your're in over your head and can't get out, YOU ARE WRONG!
