Ever had a drill sergeant telling you how to spend and save your money? Well, that is what we have in this groundbreaking new book by author, army veteran and Certified Financial Planner Steve Repak. When you finish this study you will know how to better manage your money, change the way you think about money, take control of your spending, get rid of your debts, and have more money than you ever thought possible by saving and investing. There are so many books out today on this subject that it is difficult to know which one to pick. As I read through this book, I was impressed with the tips, idea, help and even some of the things I'd heard before but said in a better, simpler way.

Some of the tips that have stuck in my mine are: mMaking more money is NOT the answer; people who write down their goals have a higher probability of keeping them; don't love something that doesn't love you back; and it doesn't take a lot of money to have a lot of money, but it does take for your to start saving now. These are just a very few things discussed by the author in this book.

The question the author asks is this; "Are you ready to go to battle and take the steps necessary to change your financial future?" This means if you need help with your money in any way, this book is the book for you. So go out and purchase a copy for you and your family. It will be a great book to start with, and also a great book to keep as a reference to go back to time and time again.
