It was an okay book. Some sections were helpful. Others... Not so much. There were also some moments of interesting politics that didn't really seem like they fit. It seemed that they were shoehorned in as problems to soapbox about but not really offer any solutions on. I did get some new sites to check out though, which is always a plus.

Luckily, I picked this up for free during a Kindle promotion in 2011; the unlucky part is I finally got around to opening it up and seeing what it was about and wasted a lot of my time before I quit reading and deleted it from my Kindle.

If you’re looking for a middle-school / junior high style of writing, as well as the apparent maturity of the author, this is your book. If you’re looking for a way to be perceived as an all-out jerk but weren’t sure where to start, I’d recommend your picking this up and reading it cover to cover. If you have wondered how you can screw over a small business owner and cause him or her unnecessary costs, lost revenues, and headaches as they try to scratch out a living you might be inclined to like this book. However, if you are someone with common decency toward your fellow man you will wonder what kind of person would write something like this?

As I said earlier, I picked this up for free vs. its normal Kindle price of $8.99: free or not, I would give this one a wide pass.

And this book will stick it to you if you buy it. Some advice is out of date, some useless and most say "check out this website."

The book should be half the length that it is. Half of it is just "fluff" -- cutesy jokes, LARGE USELESS GRAPHICS and political rants.

The only practical advice was to switch from a bank to a credit union -- and that's it, folks.

I thought this book was over rated. I was expecting it to be much funnier. I was disappointed with the lack of humor and the lack of good information.
