ANNOUNCING The “You’re Broke Because You Want to Be” Book Giveaway!

By JLP | January 8, 2008

Larry Winget -

Today is your chance to win a SIGNED copy of Larry Winget’s newest book You’re Broke Because You Want to Be (Affiliate Link). I have read several of Larry’s books and this one is my favorite. I finished reading it last night and will be posting a review tomorrow.

I have two copies to give away.

If you would like to be considered to receive a FREE book, leave a comment below. Please remember my TWO rules:

1. You must be a resident of the U.S. or Canada, and…

2. You can only enter ONE TIME per day!

I’ll randomly-select TWO winners TOMORROW morning. GOOD LUCK!

Also, be sure to check out YoureBroke.com, the official website for the book.

UPDATE: Someone asked about Larry’s show, Big Spender, in the comments. According to the A&E website, Big Spender airs Saturday mornings at 11:30 AM EST/10:30 CST.

    I want a copy of this book to give to a friend struggling financially (and she makes a good income). I am finally “seeing the light” and am working hard on changing my ways. I would like for her to do so also.

    I listened to an audiobook version of “Shut Up, Stop Whining and Get a Life” and loved it. I saw this book at Barnes & Noble but was too much of a cheapskate to buy it at retail; I have it “on reserve” at the local library but am waaaaay down on the queue so I hope I win!

    Once upon a time there was a poor college graduate trying to figure out how to get his finances straight. After all of his money was gone, and in debt with school loans, he had resorted to eating the cardboard from the leftover pizza boxes for nurishment. While chewing his fiberous meal he then decided that it may in fact be beneficial to try to win a free book that could unlock the mystery to personal finance. Then again if he didn’t win, he could always buy it with his credit card…

  42. M.B. Says:
