The 4 Laws of Financial Prosperity: Get Control of Your Money Now!

This book remains on the top of my list of favorites. My wife and I (both fans of the book) have made significant improvements to our financial status in the past two years since reading “The Four Laws”. I mean significant! We’ve paid off $29K in credit card debt, invested the same amount in mutual funds, both are able to max out our 401(k) plans, have met our contribution limits to our Roth IRA’s already and are planning our next visit to ski in Austria (…)! That is our story now. It was far from pretty before reading the book. It is important to note, like anything worthwhile, it takes goal setting, planning and follow-through to achieve. This book lit a fire that no other book could. In fact, about 10 of my friends have received a copy of their own as gifts from us. Simply a great feeling knowing that I can control my life and help others to achieve the same experience. Peace, love and happiness!

Take an evening to read this (it’s only 100 pages). It’s an easy read, but be warned: if you put the 4 laws into practice, it will change your life! As a financial advisor, I have read dozens of books and attended many seminars on debt reduction (some good, some bad); NONE of which could match this book’s simplicity and applicability to ANY person in ANY situation (without changing your income!). That’s no exaggeration. If brevity is the sole of wit, this book is a tome of wisdom that should be required reading in every high school and college. It’s a faithful adaptation of the amazingly basic, yet often overlooked principles of sound financial decision making. The examples are realistic, and the instructions easy to follow. Your greatest challenge will be re-training your brain to set your priorities differently, but believe me, it’s worth it! I have given copies of this book to clients, friends, and every member of my family. Truly the most life-changing book I’ve read since Stephen Covey’s “7 habits of highly effective people”.

At last! A finance book I can read like a story! Not boring, lecturing, or intimidating like other books of this nature. This book literally saved my financial future. I am now on the road to debt free prosperity, and feeling great about life. My perspective on money and how I spend it has changed completely.

This book lays it so simply – how to get out of debt, including paying off your house mortgage, in five years or less. I now see how it is happening for me! And what is great is that you don’t have to earn more income, it doesn’t make any difference how much you earn, it’s all about how you spend your money. Great book for everyone, and get the teens to read it now!

I purchased the audiotape of this book and listened to it on my daily commute. The presentation of the idea was very simple and made me feel like I could follow their suggestions too! I sat down and worked out my tracking, target, trimming, and training goals and realized that with all of my debt…I could be paid off and debt free by April of 2003 (and I had lots of debts from just finishing my doctorate). I also mentioned some of the ideas in this tape to my 13 year old (that if a 15 year old puts $7 aside each month until s/he was 65…and received 15% return…that they’d be a millionaire at retirement). She, too, is excited about the rules given in this book.
