2.0 out of 5 stars Almost worth it..., May 5, 2001

By	T. Donaldson (Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this book as well as FREE college and training money for women. Both books provide TONS of resources but you will need time to sift through them to determine your eligbility. However the books are HUGE let downs in that they have duplicate information, not only on the pages of each book itself, but both of them carry identical programs or information. They simply changed the print and layout of the books. My best advice is to buy whichever of Mr. Lesko's books you beleive is best suited to your own situation, and save your money, don't purchase any others. You will only get repeat information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Book a Mom Must have!, January 9, 2001

By	"lorduvlord" (Birmingham, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews

This is an awesome book. We get $10 off on our phone bill a MONTH!! From a program that the phone company never tells you about. Got $2,000 in weatherizing our home. I have also helped our friends purchase a home they never thought they would get with the programs in this book. And other little things just to save money to many to list. This book is loaded with tons of programs from the government! Its an awesome book and I already got my money back from it and much more. I am very happy with this book and I am going to buy another!

2.0 out of 5 stars A Disappointment, January 20, 2004

By A Customer

Although I fit the catagory of being a "busy mom", I had a very hard time finding anything in this book that I could benefit from. Much of the book is filled with opportunities for those in a low-income bracket meeting the criteria for government subsidies. For people in that situation, this book would be a wonderful resource - and is well researched. Between the asssistance for low-income families, senior citizens, those seeking lovers and cheap abortions I found little I could apply to my life. The book also could be organized better. An enormous amount of information is given without any way to sift through it and find the opportunities that one would qualify for.
