    Book Review: Free Money to Pay Your Bills

    Free Money to Pay Your Bills by Matthew LeskoMatthew Lesko, in his question mark suit, is a television commercial staple. He’s good at grabbing your attention and making you wonder if his book really could help. After seeing his latest commercial, I decided to find out.

    Free Money to Pay Your Bills is well organized and, although a couple of the programs show up more than once as they fit under multiple categories, there are hundreds of programs listed. The book gives a heading, such as “Emergency Rent Money”, and then presents the contact information of all the organizations that offer that type of program.

    Even though I do not qualify for most of the programs listed, I did find a couple. If you are a low income family or individual, take care of an elderly parent, have children or are pregnant, have a disability, or are a veteran, this book has plenty of programs that may help pay your bills. If you do not fall under any of these categories you might find one or two. Check the book out from your local library or peruse it in your local book store. What can it hurt to look?

    I can't believe you own that book. That's hilarious. Good to know this guy isn't completely full of shit, though.

    I don't actually own the book. As I suggested in my review, I checked it out from my local library. But, I can totally see it being worthwhile for some people to own it.

    Oh! well that's an even better option, really. Then you don't have to give money to the huckster, just get money from his ideas! WOOOOOOOO

    I wonder if there is a chapter about free money to fund your podcast...
