FLAT BROKE? How To Get Back On Your Feet, Fast! Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
If you've just lost your job, your savings, or your home, this book will show you the way back. First, read a special book first published back in the 1930s but still available on . Next, raise some immediate cash in one of two ways. Last but far from least, seriously consider a move to greener pastures. The author is JJ Luna, author of the best-selling book on personal privacy, HOW TO BE INVISIBLE. Luna says he has never been “poor,” but admits to being fired from a number of jobs when he was young, and running completely out of cash in 1949, 1953, 1974, and (hopefully for the last time!) in 1979.“Losing your home or your job may be a blessing in disguise,” he says, remembering his own experiences and those of his friends. “Your best years may be yet to come.”

"Flat broke? How to..." What a clear title. It gives the reader exactly what they can expect to find in the book, and in this case Mr. Luna delivers.Mr. Luna grew up in the depression of the 1930s and reading this book is like listening to a wise grandfather spill his secrets. There is sage advice on everything from what kind of car to drive (and how to obtain it and use it for virtually "free" when everything is said and done) to how to stop worrying and start living, which incidentally is the title of Chapter Two as well as the classic book by author Dale Carnegie.* Chapter 1 The Story Of Homer Croy* Chapter 2 How to Stop Worrying and Start Living* Chapter 3 How to Survive the Loss of Your Home (anyone out there who can relate to this? Millions.)This chapter contains a simple process that will allow you to assess and create solutions to solve virtually any problem that you are facing right now. Just as the most precious things in life are free: light, air, water (well...) some of the most powerful things are very simple. This chapter alone could pay for the book 1,000 times over.* Chapter 4 How to Survive the Loss of Your JobHere I have to mention another book of Luna's that I bought years ago entitled "Skip College..." I bought copies for some high-school aged family members that were contemplating college and would recommend that you get that book and read it right now.
Full Disclosure - I've been a huge Jack Luna fan for at least 12 years now and I got a special deal on this book. With that said, I'd definitely recommend it especially considering the price.So reading Luna's books is reminiscent many ways of listening to Dave Ramsey or listening to sage advice from a grandparent. There's no major secrets, no earth shattering revelations but very practical advice that gets right to it. If you read How to Be Invisible for instance, the writing is superb, it's compelling and makes you want to keep reading. This books feels slightly rushed and doesn't have the transitions or depth of Jack's typical books. on the other hand, he wastes no time and gets right to it. I know I've been very vague so far and am going to make another generic statement before getting to the point, but reading this book does have some immediate quick fixes however really fits in the context of a broad world view. Everything about it is pragmatic, adult and predicated upon taking full responsibility for your own life. Striving for immediate gratification and 'getting something for nothing' are two things you need to give up if you follow any of Luna's advice. On the other hand, if you get past ego, pride, keeping up with the Joneses and the like, his advice is wonderful. There are, at the risk of sounding cliche, laws of nature or the universe and they don't change b/c of your needs, wants or desires. If you for instance, take a loan out to buy a car, you are giving up a certain degree of freedom & privacy and adding stress and obligations to your life. If you are ok with the tradeoff it's certainly your right to take that deal, but you simply have to acknowledge that by borrowing the money, you're giving up a few things.
Let's face it, while, I, like most readers, live in a modern country, and have resources to buy this ebook online, (so I am not "flat broke") I am happy I took about an hour to read this book because it's ideas may help me from ever becoming flat broke. It can be used not only to get you back on your feet fast, but also to get your creative juices flowing as you choose a marital partner, home, or business!Learn from someone with experience: on his bio, the author admits he has been flat broke at least 4 times in his life. Furthermore, in his book he admits he once ran out of cash while married and living in a foreign country (where regular work might be hard to find). He survived each event, and as of this date (May 11, 2013), he and his website (including a customized safe-house for sale for $795,000) seem to be doing well. More importantly than being Donald Trump, without being a household name, Mr. Luna knows how one can recover quickly should things go awry.Sensitive readers may want to consider that Mr. Luna's background is that of an older WASP male whose ideas relating to religion or women's roles may be too conservative or paternalistic (if such parts don't work for you or your family, do what does work). Like it or not, one must give Mr. Luna credit for speaking from experience, and of what has helped him succeed. Mr. Luna appears to realize his limits, and speaks like a grandfather or uncle - some of his views may seem dated, but his perspective is worth attempting to understand.Mr. Luna's book is short (but well worth the current $2.99 kindle price) and refers to other books, including some by the author. However, Mr.
