You’re Broke Because You Want to Be: How to Stop Getting By and Start Getting Ahead
I wrote this book for the average person who has a job, makes a living and still cant seem to get ahead. I wrote it for the person who dreams of being rich but cant quite seem to turn his dreams into reality. I wrote this book for the person who is ready to turn his life around and finally have financial freedom. I wrote this book for the person who is covered in debt and cant seem to stop living paycheck to paycheck. I wrote this for the person who spends more than they make and cant figure out how to stop doing it.
–Larry Winget
