[rgwalt]

About the book? Never read it. I'm poor right now, but once I start making some money (if I ever do), I'll probably pick up a copy.

[vital]

one time i got suckered into a MLM scheme and they tried to make me read a bunch of books about MLM and rich dad poor dad....i think i almost got brain washed...

 

[Ender510]

i think it's more to do with general advice.. not really a 'how-to' book but a feel good book that opens your eyes a bit more..

how reliable is that source? people are biased. is that a reliable source? anyone can make up a site about someone being a scam artist.

 

[Zebo]

You did'nt have time to read the page so I'll tell you he provides a very detailed accounting of the bull comming out of that book.. But your probably right THIS is the ONE.

 

[Ender510]

I'm refering to all those get rich quick guys who are con-artists and con people out of thier hard earned money by promising they can be rich if only they buy this book, this game, this packet, or this seminar. At first it gets folks excited because it plays on thier emotions and dreams but after a few months or years the consumer is out of money and the ONE is in jail for fraud.. BTW Robert Kiyosaki is the current hot guru whom I refering to.

Hehe.. I saw Tom Vu in that list. I remember that guy, he did commercials from some yacht with numerous babes around: "You too can be like Tom Vu!" What a dork! I think he went to prison for tax evasion...

 

[tkim]

i have read the book and i too am sold and skeptical at the same time. however, like someone else said, the book isn't one of those "do this and that" but more of a get-your-mind-working-toward-a-financial-goal book.

for me, it had made me thing more focused on what i like to do and how i can make a living off of it. it was just the grease that got the wheel turning. that's all.

Spend less, save more, invest in reasonable-risk things like bank CDs and S&P500 mutual funds.

Wealth gurus are all a lot like diet gurus, trying to teach a magic philosophy or food mix that doesn't really work better than: eat less, exercise more. But we don't want to hear something that simple, we want the magic.
