Start saving and stop spending-advice as familiar as Ben Franklin's "a penny saved is a penny earned." But best-selling author Bach (The Automatic Millionaire) makes it sound so much nattier when he coaches readers to calculate their double-latte factor-those little indulgences that, when curbed, can froth into huge savings down the road. Bach hammers home a number of well-worn yet worthy principles, like buying a home instead of renting, cutting expenses, asking for a raise, and paying off those pesky credit card debts, all the while saving, saving, saving. From offering advice on supplementing day jobs with pursuits like small home businesses or e-bay to analyzing how real estate, direct selling, and franchising can contribute to financial success, Bach's enthusiasm is infectious. And after all the practical advice, he does not neglect the more humane elements of financial planning-giving to worthy causes and living richly and fully. This book will be appreciated in public library business collections by the latte-sipping set, who will be glad to learn that it's never too late to take control of one's financial futures.-Carol J.
