When picking a book on personal finance, I look for 3 things.1.Can the writer be relied upon?2.Does the book address my specific need?3.Is the advise given actionable?This book, Find Money Every Day by Merl Miller, meets all of my criteria. Let me explain.1.Can the writer be trusted?I have done a little research on the writer, visiting his website and Facebook page – he is definitely the  genuine sort. He's been in the personal finance field in various capacities for several decades now (yeah, he is like really old) and knows what he's talking about. He's not somebody dreaming of ebook millions after having read a “how to write an ebook in 3 days” book!2.Does it help my particular need?I find myself always short of money, which leaves me completely unhappy, and blaming all and sundry for it – not sparing even President Obama. Merl says the best way to make money is to change one's approach to life. Cut out all the negativity – cut out the TV, news shows, political blogs – cut out anything that brings you negative energy. For, neither the Conservatives nor the Liberals can help you make money – only you can make money for yourself. Always be positive, and always have positive thoughts. The power of Affirmation is stressed upon by Merl.3.Is Merl's advise actionable or practicable?That's the best part of the book. Merl offers very simple ways to make money. For instance, he provides the link to a website using which it is possible to find out what we are owed to by any bank in any state. There's also quite a lot on saving on taxes. I found the part on internet marketing and multi-level marketing, and how to make it work, very useful.Basically, it boils down to...#increasing income#decreasing expenses#manifesting it.Simple, but highly effective advise, written in an avuncular manner. I really liked this book.
