Earn What You Deserve: How to Stop Underearning & Start Thriving
The author of How to Get Out of Debt, Stay Out of Debt and Live Prosperously here tackles the problems of another fiscally troubled group, those who are earning only enough to meet their needs. He touches on but does not treat in depth the destructive self-image that makes underearning only part of a syndrome. But he does offer advice for treating underearning, beginning with three cardinal rules: do not incur debt, do not take work that pays less than you require and do not say "no" to money, i.e., ignore opportunities to increase your income. Mundis urges drawing up a "spending plan" (not a budget, which is too constricting) and recommends such relaxation techniques as meditation and deep breathing. In what looks like padding, he also presents an adaptation of the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
