Wealth Without Wall Street: A Main Street Guide to Making Money gives Main Street Americans concrete ways to improve their finances and to reduce the power of Wall Street and Washington over their lives.
Written by award winning syndicated columnist and Huffington Post Contributor Don McNay, Wealth Without Wall Street is an easy to read book loaded with common sense advice.
Its call to action can be summed up in five steps:
1. Tear up your credit cards. Eliminate debt. Stay away from the "legalized loan sharks" such as payday lenders.
2. See if you have what it takes to be self-employed.
3. Get rich slowly. Think about money long term instead of week to week.
4. Move your money from a "too big to fail" Wall Street bank to a Main Street bank or credit union in your community.
5. "Think globally, act locally" is what Wealth Without Wall Street is all about.
By the end of the book, you'll have a road map for doing both.

--Renee Shaw, producer/host, Kentucky Educational Television
Don’ understands money, but his real strength is understanding people. He has real insight into what motivates the players and he explains it well to my audience. He’s one of my favorite guests.”
--Joe Elliott, Louisville, Kentucky; The Joe Elliott Show
“You don’t have to study the labor disputes in professional sports, or the politics in Washington for very long to see there’s a shortage of common sense. That’s exactly what I found when I started reading Don McNay’s columns several years ago. We brought him on our radio show to talk about financial issues in a way that connected with people more than someone looking to come up with a great sound bite.
