I felt that this book was very interesting, mostly because the author goes  against the norms of education (get good grades, get a good job, you're set  type of mentality).  This book really makes you think about why you want to  work, and how to change your lifestyle over time so that the money works  for you, not the other way around.  The author has some good points on how  the rich find the loopholes in the system to stay rich, and gives logical  advice to help individuals become financially ahead of the game.  I  definitely do not recommend this book for those not willing to actually  change their mentalities and lives.  It is a very good guide to  understanding how the rich get rich and how they differ from the poor,  whether educated or not, people.

Tired of being part of the rat race? I work a 9 to 5 that can be anything but 9 to 5 some weeks. It gets aggravating working long hours for little reward. This book shows you how to end that grind and start cashing in. I didn't know much about outsourcing but I figured Id check it out. This book is great for beginners and really gives you some fantastic ideas for getting started. Ive been doing freelance work for a little while now and Im already starting to see a boost in my income. Im easily pulling an extra $200 - $300 a month now and Im just getting started. I love working for the clients that I choose to take on and taking jobs that I really want to do. Its easy to find something that I love to do and get paid for it! Start your road to financial independence doing what you want to do, not what a demanding boss tells you to do.

Money is not an evil thing. Money is an important belonging you must have. It allows you to access almost everything. But it is always a good way to manage it properly and hold it wisely. The book will let us see how significant financial stability is. It opens our mind to all possibility that money is important to. I was quite inspired while reading this book. Having a proper budgeting plan is also discussed in this book. Budgeting is one of the hardest things to do especially if you don't know how to do it rightly. So I think this book is so helpful to all of us. We can get a lot by reading each chapter included. This is greatly written, so informative and educational to all Americans like me.

Despite its rather suspicious title (any book that starts with "How to make money/a great living" sounds suspicious to me), the book offered a lot of good and practical information. To be fair, it was mostly common sense (no Eureka moment, at least not to me), but it doesn't claim you would become rich overnight (in fact, it doesn't claim to make you rich, only to make a good living or to supplement your "regular" income). The author offers an honest account (at least in my view) of how to make [some] money from teaching online, mostly through means of online courses/tutorials, if you care a lot about what you do and, most important, if you enjoy/love helping people.

This not the usual make me rich book. It Makes you think about what do you really have as far as money and where are you spending it. I found out that I was in balance with my wants, needs and saving.

This book causes one to think and look deeply into money as a true reflection of our state of being. So much more than a shallow "make a lot of money" book, or even a slightly shallow "manifest a lot of money" book, if you allow yourself to really reflect on Lynne Twist's words, they will bring you to reflect deeply on the mentaility of scarcity (that we can inhabit in any moment, no matter how much money we have), and the mentality of sufficiency (which, too, we can have no matter how much money is in our pockets).

Twist has spent years as a fundraiser for The Hunger Project and other charitable organizations aimed at fostering true empowerment, as oppposed to just a "handout". Her book is peppered with amazing exmples of how this sufficiency or lack mentality can infuse, and empower, or diseompower our lives. By including stories from her personal life, as well as her work with various "developing" people throughout the world, she makes it clear that the financially wealthy can easily become poor in spirit, and that the key to empowering those of little financial means is to empower their own vision for themselves and what they want to create--not to just hand them money.

I find that bringing this book into my life has enriched it tremendously. If you are looking for a book that causes you to reflect deeply on the meaning of money in our lives, and how we can find sufficiency and inner wealth in every moment, then I would recommend this book wholeheartedly to you.

Ms. Orman gets me started in thinking about my money. I rated myself as good in money management skills, i.e. satisfied with what I did with my money and how I kept myself debt-free, and still can learn from what she has to offer.
So many times I overlooked the emotional factor in dealing with money. Ms. Orman candidly explained the reality how money and emotion are deeply connected and how it can affect our preception towards money and other people.
Ms. Orman also includes some basic tips in investments, home buying, retirement and a bit on the tax side. This book gives me a jump start that I need to start thinking and managing my money better and encouragement to start doing my own research.
Since this book is very basic, I would highly recommend this for those who has no clue of what to do with their money. It is easy to read without many confusing jargons.

This is a fantastic book that I was asked to read for a new job. I usually dislike reading books but this book really speaks to how you want to look at life. Recommend this ANYONE too, its not just for business.

I came away thinking of several friends of mine that I think of as cheapskates. I grew up poor and any extra money the family had it was quickly spent. The book did change the way I think about spending money for I always ask the question, "would a millionaire buy this?"

It's an astonishing concept. Most people work for money, because they do not know what money actually is. Financial education is rarely available to people today and Robert shares some very insightful ideas that are going to facilitate your financial education even further. I can't recommend this book enough. It's one of the best books written by Robert, so I am pretty sure, if you take the time and read it, you won't regret! Moreover, if you apply the ideas into your life, you'll be one step closer to your financial freedom.

I did not answer the question in the title of this review, so I'll keep my answer short. Rich do not work for money, they work for assets that put money into their pockets. Money is not an asset, since 1971, it became debt - it's has a hole in its own bucket.

This is a marvelous book. It talks about money in a way I have never considered before. I found it not enlightening but very useful. I recommend this book to everyone however well financially organised you think you might be.

This is a great book that looks at how to really make money, the financial pitfalls of working on a job your whole life (for what--a gold watch and  enough to buy a loaf of bread once a month?).  This book is a must read for  all those searching for knowledge about how the world of making money  really works!

As the author of my own blog about ways to make money from home, I realized right away that I would love this book because the author's writing style is down-to-earth, humorous, realistic. Money can be a boring topic  thankfully, this guy really punches it up. I feel like hes sitting across from me at my kitchen table, giving me great financial advice.

Second, this isn't like any other financial book Ive read before. It doesnt just give you ways to make money; it talks about changing your entire attitude toward money (ask and you shall receive?). He talks about a shift in awareness and I have to tell you in has worked for me in the past week.

Finally, there are many new ideas in this book. Frankly, Im dying to try them out and report the results on my blog.

This book really gets you thinking about money and where it goes. Im excited to see where our financials will be in the next 4-10 years!

The gist of this book is to purchase things that return money back to you, real estate etc... things like cars are a liability. The rest of the book is a feel good book to motivate you.
Yes I do recommend it. It will get you thinking in a different way. Will it make you rich?  Sure if you're the writer or publisher!
