The original poster of this thread was looking for information, and help. I've read the book,and just about every other book thats been published on the subject. I would agree that the guy is a snake, but that doesn't mean the book doesn't deserve some merit if it actually provides some benefits to the reader. For all we know he paid someone to write it for him, who cares, as long as it helps someone. I thought that was the idea behind this forum, to help people.
Lack of Financial education in America, is the primary reason, most people wind up in debt in the first place. That's not the fault of the people, but the fact that we don't teach it, we don't encourage it, we only push people to spend more money, for all the wrong reasons. A hood has been pulled over the eyes of every person living in America and we all need to wake up and get educated.
If you are aware of a more reliable source, then please stop ranting and, tell the reader what they can do to find more credible information. Perhaps you should suggest a different book , that YOU have read, because without the facts, any thing you read should be considered subject, including the posts on this website.
