5.0 out of 5 stars If you don't need to be motivated, just told what to do, BUY, May 22, 2005

By	B. Rob "B.R." (Arlington) - See all my reviews

I did not buy the book, read the book, or know anything about the book until well after I was done with the WORKBOOK. The only thing I was interested in was saving more money and making my money, which is lazy my nature, work harder for me. 11 months later: An IRA, 401k, "rainy day fund", started saving for a house, and just over 10 thousand dollars of credit card debt GONE! If there is a book, I would imagine it wouldn't be as useful as the workbook, since the workbook basically tells you exactly what to do to start "finishing rich".
After reading a few other personal finance books (ie. quadrants, and rich dad stuff), I was disappointed in the fact that those books didn't actually instruct you on what to do, more than give you the ideas and philosophy to do things. I DID NOT need motivation, I needed a step-by-step plan to follow, and this book did just that.
I found the Automatic millionaire workbook a good tool for learning to make things more automatic (automate your bills and such, no more writing checks)but the "Finish Rich Workbook" is really the only, and best, tool you need to get started making a better life for yourself--without having to increase your income or live on noodles and government cheese.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for those who need a simple, clear financial plan, January 15, 2004

By	K. Corn "reviewer" (Indianapolis,, IN United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

If you already read financial books, this isn't for you (you'll already know everything in this book) But for the rest of us, this is perfect- a clear, easy and, most importantly, personalized plan for achieving financial goals and staying out of debt, achieving economic security and retiring comfortably. Bach's examples are inspiring and he has tips for controlling expenses - from waiting 48 hours before buying anything that costs $100.00 or more to showing how saving as little as 3.33 a day can add up to significant savings over time. His graphs and tables are very easy to follow and his worksheets are equally simple.
Perfect for anyone wanting to save more, from students just out of college to families in a budget crunch.

1.0 out of 5 stars I Wasted Ten Bucks, January 26, 2005

By	Mike Kern "Mike" (San Francisco) - See all my reviews

My wife and I read "Start Late, Finish Rich." We figured our latte factors, our expenses, our debt, our net worth, and so on. We worked out a plan. Then I spent ten bucks on this workbook and discovered we'd already done everything in it.

If you've got the original book, you don't need to waste your money on this.
