Product Description

You can do this. If you want to make money and lose weight, you already have everything you need to do it successfully. You don't need financial advisers. You don't have to pay commissions. You don't have to go to meetings. You don't have to buy special products. You have everything you need, right there in the space between your ears. With humor and insight, author Babe Lincoln shares her map to the mistakes and pitfalls that stand between you and your goals. She'll show you how to make money and lose weight, and even better, how to hang on to those gains and losses. Learn "How to Lose Money on Cars," "Why You Yo-Yo," and how to live by Lincoln's Law: The more money they're spending to sell it to you, the less you need it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Right to the point, April 14, 2009
By Ashley Johnston (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
If you have $3,000 or more to invest, ten pounds or more to lose, and not more than an hour to think about how to do it, this is the book for you. It has really good information about how to make regular monthly investments in an index fund and avoid all the fees and commissions that eat up your profits in other kinds of investments. It also tells you how to design your own diet, starting by finding out how many calories your body burns every day. Very clear and right to the point, it will open your eyes to the sales tricks used in the financial industry and possibly save you from a lot of expensive mistakes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and useful, April 13, 2009
By Ryan Stone (St. Louis, Missouri) - See all my reviews
This book has a lot of good advice packed into less than a hundred pages, and it's presented in an entertaining way with a great sense of humor. I loved this quote from Jackie Gleason about diets: "The second day of a diet is always easier than the first. By the second day, you're off it."

The first half of the book explains a simple and sensible way to invest calmly in the stock market, and then offers tips on how not to lose money in a lot of other kinds of investments. For instance, never accept an invitation to a free dinner and financial seminar at a steak restaurant, because "the more money they're spending to sell it to you, the less you need it."

There's also good advice on how to save money on car insurance and rental car insurance, why you shouldn't borrow money from your 401(k) account, and what to watch out for before you transfer a balance to your credit card ("Man is the only animal that can be skinned more than once." -- Jimmy Durante).

The second half of the book is all about losing weight by calorie-counting alone, even if you don't exercise. It explains how to find out how many calories your body burns every day, and how to lose a pound a week by eating five hundred calories a day less than that. Easier said than done, of course, but the book offers tips on eating in restaurants, decoding deceptive labels on packaged food, and how to find computer programs that will count calories for you. It also gives the best explanation ever for yo-yo dieting.

There's also a list of recommended books about investing and weight loss, and a funny list of popular diet books that do look pretty goofy when they're all side-by-side.

All in all, a very entertaining and worthwhile read.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible., August 16, 2009
This book is junk. It will do better holding up the short leg of the couch than it will what it claims. Fortunately I didn't have to pay a dime for it.
