Synopses & Reviews
"God's plan for you doesn't include being broke, busted, and disgusted."
So says Lee Jenkins, who knows the everyday questions ordinary people have about money.
Do I have "cirrhosis of the giver"? What about credit repair clinics? What's the "Joseph principle"? Should I go into business with my cousin? Is my interest-only mortgage a good idea? What about the multi-level marketing craze?
Lee begins each chapter of his new book with "The Real Deal About" everything from romance and money to debt to investments to teaching children. He moves to financial challenges and solutions, then closes each chapter with "the Ten Commandments
of . . . , " a recap of that section's most important dos and don'ts.
Lee's expertise and friendly style make this book one you'll refer to again and again.
