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. Lisa Reid, editor of PurseStrings newslette

I was in dire need of help.This book solved all my money problems,and gave me a new outlook on life.

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!
