Black men suffer more than any other racial or sexual group in America. They have the lowest standards of living, shortest life expectancies, highest incarceration rates and suffer other sociological and economic ailments. However, for the past 50 years virtually NO PROGRESS has been made in improving the lives of black men. We have to admit what we've been trying has failed and black men have paid the price. And it's time for that to change. Life is too short and too precious to live it under poverty, making only 67% of what white males do. Fathers and husbands are too important to be replaced by a government check, ruining families in the process. And futures too vital not to be lived to their full potential. If you're a black man and have had enough and want more out of life then "The Black Man's Guide Out of Poverty" is for you. Not just a book on "personal financial management," "The Black Man's Guide Out of Poverty" is specifically tailored towards the plight of black men. It addresses the sociological, economic, and political forces that hold them down. It shows you the path out of poverty. It lays out the road map towards a better life. And makes sure your one and finite life is a happy, well-lived one. Demand a better life than what politicians and society PERMIT you to have. Buy "The Black Man's Guide Out of Poverty" and truly set yourself free.

A Good Read

Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

I'm a white male reviewing this, so take my review with a grain of salt.

I liked this book. Some of the material is a rehash of Bachelor Pad Economics, which Mr. Clarey states at the beginning of the book, but the premise of the book is solid.
In fact with some modification, The Black Man's Guide Out of Poverty could be called The (Insert Name) Guide Out of Poverty.
This is because while he targets the black community in his book, much of the information here can be used for any racial/economic group. For example, one of the problems Mr. Clarey addresses is Ghetto Culture. A culture that places bling, and street cred, over wise financial decisions and education. However as an example, with some modification you target white people with Redneck Culture, which really does have some values that can handicap white people (If you go by my experience living in the countryside with my peers) such as teen pregnancy, more concerned about being a Good Ole Boy, instead of being a prudent, intelligent male, or even staying local no matter how bad the job scene is.

I bought an extra copy of this book so my successful black friends could read it and give their opinions.

Gota respect Aarons authentic-ness He doesnt bs or give any wishy washy talk i have read his other books and his advice is rock solid and the type of advice i wish i received years and years ago. Alot will hit home for us brothers in this book. Every brother should do himself and his fellow brothers a favor and read this book. It will touch on all aspects of the blackmans experience and reality in America. Theres no finger pointing or the pull yourself up by the bootstraps speech just solid solutions to navigate the game.

Must read for any young man black or not

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2018

Verified Purchase

Excellent book. I wished I read this book when I was in my early 20s. This book gives you advice about college, careers, starting a business, women and family.
I'm not black but I am a minority(Latino) in this country, and yes we have opportunities but our loser mentallity doesn't allow us to take advantage of then, the author talks about this in more detail.
I understand this book is tailored to the US audiences but I honestly believed this book should be read all over the world specially Latinos.

While I have read some of Aaron's other works, this book being tailored towards me was a nice change. You would think with him being an "a-hole" he would be more cynic but his views on the world and our society is simply truthful, and inspiring really. One only has to look online or turn on the news to be bombarded with enough crap to be cynic. After reading this book I will say that I have a more optimistic view on life. I've been following Aaron and people like Mike Cernovich for around a year now. So I've been slowly taking proactive steps to ensure my economical survival in this declining society. But it's still nice to be reminded of an overall bigger goal(legacy, family) to not just survive but thrive.

Mixed bag but good overall

Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a good introductory lesson for young ( and frankly not so young) black men looking for solutions to a life that works.

It's not perfect, and Clarey could have used a good editor, but it does what the title says it does: give black men a realistic plan that will lead them out of poverty.

A more detailed review can be found at Reading n Between the Life.

I really love this book.

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is really awesome. I love how Aaron broke down the information and made it easy to understand. Also, he kept it so real! I couldn't put the book down. It felt like he's giving a real blueprint and explained in great detail the facts. I've learned a lot in this book on how to improve my life but, also finances.
