How to be rich

write a book telling people how to be rich and charge for it

Quote from Asryn : How to be rich write a book telling people how to be rich and charge for it

you beat me to it.

I won't deny that the author is a self-interested entrepreneur, but the advice he gives is sound if you've never heard it before. Sure the book costs $2 (I paid $8 a year ago), but it helped me to take control of my finances and to make sense of investments, retirement planning, and general personal finance fresh out of college.

Nobody is poor on SD.

I second that. How many authors out there aren't self-interested?

Wow, reading the first page of the Amazon preview I'm already interested. In for one!

But I am not into credit and agree with the Dave Ramsey camp on living debt free. Seriously... calculate the cash value of a used car and compare that with your car payments. And for how many years is that???

EX: In March 2012, I paid $3700 for a 1998 Nissan Altima GLE with 150k miles. I took it to be inspected by a Nissan dealer and even they said it was awesome. Took me a year to save for it at $308/month. I now have no car payments and a darned good used car. [The car was purchased at a local dealer and the salesman screamed across the aisle at his partner that I paid in cash. He was happy too.]

How did I come up with this idea? I read it in a book about how to be rich. I think I'm reasonably intelligent, but I would have never come up with this on my own. Why? Because most Americans haven't even come up with this on their own. I don't know anybody without car payments... unless their car only has only three wheels & in constant need of repair.

My point? Don't be ashamed to read a book about getting rich. Am I rich? No. But I haven't worked in 2 months, have no car payments, and can still afford to pay my rent. I feel rich.

Two thumbs up, OP! Good job.

no, you will lose $2 thereafter...instead of getting rich...

Didn't get your point here pal. You bought the car on that books advice?

Thanks OP. This book was suggested when I (at the ripe old age of 33) decided to pay off my college debt and get a retirement account started (at the same time!).

I feel I have my auto payments under control, but even one additional tip should be worth the $2. Repped.

or you could just google "I Will Teach You To Be Rich pdf" and it will be first 2shared link

Being rich is easy. It's "getting rich" that is the hard part. And "staying rich" if you frequent Slickdeals.net- your riches will soon be spent.

PDFs don't do well in ereaders. I prefer the Kindle version or epub that can be converted to Kindle.

I "saved" for the car on a book's advice. Not this book though. Play the video link to a guy's review of the book in this post. Maybe you'll get more what I'm saying...
