All marches toward debt free living start with a first step. This book can be your first step. I wish someone had taught me the principles presented in this book when I was in my twenties. I am thankful my wife and I found them in our late thirties. Read the book, follow the concepts, and for the first time in your life feel some sense of control over your financial future.

This book is a quick read and extremely practical. Joe is very honest about the mistakes he has made and puts forth commonsense ideas that have worked for him to be financially successful!

Joe did a great job in his book for the average person to understand and implement his ideas. I wish we would have known a 3rd of this information 20 years ago and we wouldn't be where we are now. The book gives you a simple plan to follow and IF you do it, it will work. I look at the whole budget idea like a diet. I know what to do to loose weight, its simple eat less, move more. But unless I take action it won't happen. I'll be in the same place next year that I am right now, overweight and unhappy. If you keep doing what your doing with your money and don't learn from your mistakes or learn how to budget you'll never fix the problem. I highley recommend this book for everyone, my 18 year old son is now using a budget. He has a part time job and only 3 bills, but he won't be in credit card debt if he follows Joes' rules to live by. This book would make a great graduation gift for everyone you know. Help the children learn NOW instead of Pay later.

The tools and information included in this book prove to be invaluable. Joe's no holds barred approach at taking control of your finances can be applied to any financial situation. This well written, down to earth book combines personal experiences, with professional insight and includes the tools needed to learn and incorporate a positive plan to turn your finances around and make your dreams come true. This is a must read.

Our pastor suggested this book to us. We've read it together and applied the principles in our finances. WHAT a world of change! This book makes saving and budgeting FUN and you actually feel accomplished when you start to put it into practice!! All we can say is BUY IT!

I like how simple but thorough this book is. Easy to understand, and covers everything that needs to be covered.

Joe Sangl has helped thousands break free from the chains of debt. This book is practical, and his real life story- beyond phenomenal. Joe has lived the battle with debilitating debt... and he won! You don't want to miss "I Was Broke, Now I'm Not.". Lifechanging!!

This is yet another save money by doing what I did book, and doesn't really give you any tools to help you save money and get out a debt. You could read a basic money management book from your public library and get the same helpful information. Don't waste your money.
