Matthew Lesko is a JOKE, 2005-05-22
I have one of his books from the library. Often he mentions websites where you can go to to get help. These website are always down or old!!! He mentions ways to save money on groceries. His solution: clip coupons!!!! Need help with high utility bills or rent? Get a roommate!! Come on now, Matthew, you imply that you know of agencies that can help with rent, utilities, grocery bills. All the average person has to do is google the same things you suggested on the internet and their advice is free. I thank God I checked this out at the library instead of wasting good $$ on it!!!

this man and his books are a joke, 2004-07-17
i purchased this book with a couple of his other titles 'on sale' a few years ago thinking that i could save money on travel,health,legal and household items and all i got was B---S---..and to boot i got junkmail for months telling me that i could get rich by SELLING the same books to others...a f&*%ing PYRAMID SCHEME....i'd seen this dorky fool on several talk shows throughout the nineties and thinking maybe he's onto something.WRONG!his 'information' is incomplete,outdated and misleading! Caveat Emptor!
folks, you can get better information from the Consumer Infomation Catalog from the Federal Citizen Infomation Center based in Pueblo,CO offered FREE in many local libraries and public agencies across the country!(remember those corny commericals from the 80's?). they have up to date and factual information on many government programs available for free or for a lower price than this jacka$$ charges!
not to mention the internet can give you access to government/federal websites and contacts to research for grants, loans and programs to help people start businesses, get money for college,etc.
the fact of the matter is, is that if you got scammed by Lesko or others, the lesson you can take from this is that the only way to make a change in your life is to get off your duff and take a proactive role in finding opportunites to make your goals a reality. Do yourself a favor and send this joker back to obscurity.

Shame on Lesko!, 2004-05-31
I found this book completely useless except for a paperweight or doorstop! What I did find interesting is that Vickie Adkins-Marcum seems to review all of Matthew Lesko's books. Of course Vickie highly exalts him using such phrases as "KUDOS to Matthew Lesko! He's making this world a better place!" For those of you who are a little slow, let me inform you that Vickie Adkins-Marcum is really Matthew Lesko, or someone Matthew gave this review to and paid Vickie to post it. It's strange that Vickie's reviews all start out with the same first paragraph and have many of the same phrases throughout. It is also strange that Vickie only reviews Matthew's books. Shame on you Matthew Lesko for writing your own review!
