Product Description

David Bakke was in deep financial trouble. Desperate to be debt-free, he created a program based on his ideas about saving, spending, and earning. The result? Financial stability, and a book designed to offer a hand to everyone struggling and in debt. Don’t Be a Mule: A Common Sense Guide to Saving More, Spending Less, and Generating Extra Money in Your Everyday Life is a practical guide to changing how you think about money. David is no financier, but he does understand that debt invites chaos into our lives and sets us on a path that, for some, seems hopeless and never-ending. The program he has devised has nothing to do with getting lucky in the lottery. Instead, its focus is to change our attitudes about money, rethink how we spend, and create an environment of increased earnings. In a voice that is both instructive and friendly, David delivers a book guaranteed to make us rethink how we relate to money. It’s a strategy that got him out of debt…and can work for you, too.

About the Author

David Bakke earned his Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing from the University of South Florida. David currently serves as a department manager in the retail industry. David resides with his wife and son outside Atlanta, GA.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't be a Mule. 100% recommended., November 12, 2009
David Bakke has got the timing perfect for the release of this much needed book. When you read it you realize that it makes perfect sense, when you put his ideas into action you see it for yourself.
I have read many of the `How to get Rich' books, this is unlike them. It actually prevents you from being poor, or paying out huge amounts for things we don't need to.
The big advantage this book has over any other I have read is that it is written in a language you can understand. You don't need to be a financial advisor or `Whizz Kid' on `Wall street' to grasp the concept. Some of it are very humorous but carry an important life learning message.
If you need to erase credit card debt, save money on bills, save money on groceries, save money on gas, get free credit reports, increase you income, make more money at work, plus frugal living tips in a nutshell; This is the only book you will need.
If you or you know someone who is having a few financial problems or you just want your money to go a little further, you need to get the book now. I have given it to my brother as an additional wedding gift, considering 30% of marriages end in divorce due to finances; this should be a compulsive read for all newlyweds. I hope it helps him as much as it does me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Down to earth, well-written, November 22, 2009
A well-written book that shows us few pointers in our lives how we can cope, cut-back, and come out ahead. With a huge dash of common sense in how to reduce monetary waste in our life, this is a book anyone can apply to their everyday life pointing out really where we day after day tend to "blow" our bucks - and shows just how much it can add up.

Whole-heartedly recommend this book to those who need a little reinforcement in their life - especially in these times when everyone is making cutbacks.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Start!, November 21, 2009
By Mary (Tampa, FL) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book was really intriguing because of its title. The author doesn't take long before explaining himself. What he means by the title is that there are a lot of big things, but also a lot of little things that we can do in our lvies that will keep us from unnecessarily wasting our hard earned money.

It is a quick read, written in a familiar down-to-earth voice that anyone can understand. Packed with great advice, I think this book could help just about anyone looking to "fix their finances". A Big thumbs up!!!
