 Simple Yet Effective Jan 15, 2011
By Patricia A. Kelvasa
I purchased this book and was delighted with it..although the book is short, it gets straight to the point. It is a simple read which allowed me to get through it unlike many of the other self- help books where I felt I needed a degree in economics to understand. Since the book is not a daunting undertaking it is perfect for the person who is not that into reading. This book is in simple laymans terms which will encourage you take a look at yourself and your spending habits and will let you see how you got in debt in the first place..since reading this book I have taken control of my spending by following the simple advice and the simple steps explained and am well on my way to becoming debt free..don't let the simplicity of it fool you, the information is priceless...well worth the $10.99 This would make a wonderful gift for your young adult to read before going out on their own or a bridal gift for the young couple about to be married.

 Never trust a review by the author Jun 17, 2008
By mike
"mike"
I thought $10.99 was a little steep for a book that is only 64 pages, but the title was interesting so I bought it anyways.
Turns out it's not 64 pages... total text is about 37 pages. And it reads like a middle school essay. To be fair I did read the entire book (in less than an hour) and I gained nothing from it. The other books by the author are poetry, and I see nothing that makes her any kind of an expert on money matters.
If you like to read books with LOTS OF CAPITAL LETTERS and excessive !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! exclamation points then maybe this is your thing, but I think you can just read comic books for that.
Notice the reviews are by the Author and friend. I'm sorry for spoiling your 5-star review, but I want to give people a heads up before they spend $10.99 more than they should on this book.

Uplifting and Empowering May 16, 2007
By Jean Marie Rhall
Did You Buy The American Dream or Does it Own You is a no-nonsense guide to reducing one's financial debt and the resultant unhappiness. The advice takes you to a new level of understanding yourself and the behaviors that keep you trapped in perpetual debt and unhappiness. The simple steps to becoming debt free EMPOWER you to a new level of thinking and of being in control. Recommended reading to anyone ready to break free of their unhappy debt filled lifestyle. This book contains the same information and techniques a Life Coach or Money Coach would advise you to do, but hiring a personal Coach cost hundreds of dollars if not more. A low cost alternative to a Life Coach.
The simplicity of this book with its straight forward and to the point format may be deceiving at first but as you find yourself thinking of the ideas set forth in the book, and actually find yourself subconciously practicing the techniques you realize the book is so much more than it seems, and you too, are on your way to a happier debt free lifestyle.
It has been 4 years since writing this book and I can happily say I am still debt free.
