Editorial Reviews

“Stressed out about the grown child who won’t leave your basement? Have family members circling like vultures now that you’re retired and saved your nest egg? Unable to climb out of debt? As if he were the Don Cherry of financial wisdom, O’Leary provides strongly worded, anecdote-driven answers, unafraid of the people he might offend.”
National Post
“Full of valuable advice imparted in a no-nonsense manner, this book will have a profound effect on how people relate to and manage their money.”
