SIMPLE DOLLAR, THE

'The Simple Dollar' may be the most compelling personal finance story you ever read: in fact, it may change your life. Trent Hamm's story will resonate with tens of millions of Americans: he found himself drowning in consumer debt, working in a job he couldn't stand - and figured out how to escape that debt and build the fulfilling career he'd always dreamt about, at the very same time. Hamm built one of the nation's leading personal finance web sites to share his experiences: a site that now attracts more than 600,000 visitors per month. Now, that site, The Simple Dollar, is a book: one that's packed with practical tips, tools, and lessons anyone can use to transform their financial lives for the better. The Simple Dollar isn't just another personal finance book: it's profoundly motivating, empowering, practical, and fully grounded in the realities Americans face right now. Trent Hamm draws on lessons from fields ranging from behavioral psychology to epistemology, showing how to rewrite the rules of life you were handed, and create healthier relationships with money - and with those around you. You'll learn how to figure out what really matters, and stop wasting money on things that don't matter. Every bit as important, you'll learn how to build the kind of personal community that can serve as a strong foundation for true happiness and fulfillment, even as the gale force winds of economic change blow around you.
