Whether you’re a parent struggling to explain savings to your children, a student contemplating a big loan to pay for school, a newly engaged couple considering joint bank accounts, or a baby boomer entering retirement, Kevin offers solid, practical advice to help you make—and keep—more money.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Books on investing usually require a thorough understanding of how the stock market works, and can frustrate or overwhelm the lay reader. Enter O'Leary (Cold Hard Truth: On Business, Money & Life), a tremendously successful entrepreneur who moonlights as an investor on TV's Shark Tank. In his latest book, O'Leary guides readers through financial decisions big and small, challenging them to understand their relationship with money, and focus on improving that relationship. These changes, according to O'Leary, will ultimately lead to greater financial stability. The beauty of O'Leary's approach is that it's straightforward and addresses the reader's changing financial needs at different life stages, from wedding planning and marriage, to buying a new home and having kids, to midlife and retirement. He lists numerous common money mistakes that people make and how to fix them, including: drowning in credit card debt; having no emergency savings; and not knowing where to invest. O'Leary pays particular attention to raising money-savvy kids and addresses the high cost of higher education and the lower costs of retirement. Full of valuable advice imparted in a no-nonsense manner, this book will have a profound effect on how people relate to and manage their money.
Customer Reviews
Decent
Decent book.
THIS NEEDS TO BE AN AUDIOBOOK!
This needs to be in an audiobook form, this type of stuff is meant to be reviewed regularly, and should be available in an audiobook. Kevin, take note of how Robert read his own book... I'd much rather listen to this read by Kevin a little each evening while he sips his wine than it to be read by a professional with perfection. READ IT FOR AN AUDIOBOOK KEVIN! Please! 5 Stars!
Thanks
I learned some key concepts that I plan to take with me in this journey we call life. Frugality, serious thinking before you make any purchases, pre-nuptials, cash flow importance (dividends), credit cards and car maintenance & payments were just a few of the concepts that produced vital information for me. I look forward to implementing the things I’ve learned in this book in my life! Thanks for your honesty Mr. Wonderful!
