Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
Thrifty Clark Howard insists on sharing his secrets. He wants to tell you the three keys to building long-term wealth; wants to confide to you the five essential things that every home purchaser should know; and even wants to whisper his secret about getting long-distance service almost free.
Booklist
It's fun to cheer him on when he uncovers sharklike sales tactics
