Danger Signals

You NEED this guide, if you have ever experienced one of the following...

• You can’t scrape together the $20 minimum credit card payment each month.

• That great outfit you bought last week went out of style exactly three seconds after you paid for it and is now lying on your closet floor.

• You’re using a credit card for necessities like hair gel and snacks because you have no cash.

• You have to avoid your friends at school because you owe them money.

• You’ve been reduced to begging your parents for chores in order to make money to pay off your bills.

• You had to pawn your CD player to pay for all those cool CDs you bought last month.

• Your parents give you funny looks when you leave for school wearing a $500 leather jacket, but ask them for lunch money.

Warning Signals

You SHOULD have this guide, if you have ever experienced one of these:

• You’ve really really wanted to go out one night, but simply couldn’t find the money.

• The above, but you couldn’t even afford to rent a movie, instead.

• You’ve ever given rolled coins to a gas attendant.

• Someone has asked you for a dollar, and you turned and said, “No, but can I have the quarter in your hand?”

It is because of the poor misfortunate folks who have dealt with these symptoms, and the terrible image that they are portraying to the rest of the world that I have chosen to do a manual on how to live rich without money. I, myself, am always broke. Never do I have money, but I still manage to make the world think that I have all the money I want. Today, I am going to share my secrets with you. Remember, though, this is not a step-by-step tutorial, as there is no possible way I could predict every incident and all people are different when it comes to their money. This is just a guide, a helper, to help you be well on your way to free success. Please use the convenient table of contents to help you find exactly what you need for the situation you find yourself in. Carry this manual everywhere you go, and if you are ever about to make any monetary transactions, stop, take a deep breath, and double check that you are doing the right thing.
