Amateur Critic Wanted

Greetings,

I have just completed writing a book about family finances and I am looking for a couple of people who would like to read some or all of it as amateur critics.

There are 44 brief chapters, each one consisting of approximately 3-4 typed pages.

The book is broken into 3 sections:
1) The first section is about the PAST and the Worst Things on Which We Waste Our Money, sometime without even knowing it.
2) The second section is about the PRESENT – things you can do right now to improve your financial status both immediately and in the long-term.
3) The FUTURE addresses the financial implications of the things that come up from time to time, like getting married, buying cars, applying for new jobs, renting apartments, and traveling.

Here are a few things you will learn:
1) How saving just $4 per day, out of the money you are now wasting, can generate $465,000 for your retirement
2) Why every dollar you spend has a FOREVER interest expense attached to it
3) Who is looking inside your credit report without your permission
4) Is college really worth the money
5) Why you should always have some sort of self-employment project (working on computer, writing a book, making calendars, part-time maintenance company, travel expert, recipe tester etc.)
6) The best ways to lay out budgets and follow them
7) How to deal with bankruptcy, foreclosure or restructuring debt
8) How much it costs to raise a child or own pets
9) The two “hidden” expenses to everything you buy
10) How to get more money at job interviews and how to get raises
11) A very simple three-step program to take you to financial security and wealth
12) 32 advanced credit strategies that will take your credit score to elite status and help you qualify for loans with the lowest possible interest rates

I am looking for constructive recommendations. Things like “this section is too wordy” or “you have said that too many times” or “I had to read this section 3 times before I really understood what you were trying to say” or “Why didn’t you talk about ____” . or “this idea needs more development” or “this is improper grammar” etc.

If you would like to read one or more sections, let me know and I will send you a zipped copy.
