“How to be Richer, Smarter, and Better-Looking than Your Parents,” by Zac Bissonnette should be on every young adult’s summer reading list. The 23-year-old author writes about finances with an honest and humorous style suitable for young adults who want a secure, stable and happy life.
Bissonnette is the author of the popular “Debt-Free U” which I reviewed back in 2010. Back then he wrote about paying for college without going broke. Now, he’s back to guide young adults through the traps that await them in their post-college years. He writes:

Complex money books are aggravating. These books just make things so difficult to understand. So when I received a copy of “The Super Duper Simple Book on Money” I was hooked even before I began to read. Find out how you can get a free copy below!
Author Alan Akina also dislikes complex money books and that’s why he decided to write a short and easy to read money book. He writes:
I promise that anyone who reads and follows the principles in this book, can live better, breathe easier, and build a solid financial foundation that will help you thrive through-out your life.

I was surprised that only 17 readers entered our book giveaway contest. I’m assuming it’s because “Money Saving Blueprint” by Bryan Bowers is a Kindle book and not many have the e-reader. Those who entered had a higher chance of winning, but I could only pick one person!
I initially wanted to give the book to reader Kay, who said the Great Recession has greatly affected her family. She said after reading the book she would share it with her book lending club for other local families to benefit from her win. There was only one problem – it’s a Kindle book. Rats!
Win a Kindle version (or PDF version) of this book!
Today is your last chance to comment for a chance to win Bryan Bowers’ “Money Saving Blueprint.” Only 6 readers have entered, so your chances of winning are super high! Bowers shows you how to cut down expenses in his easy to read, 39-page book.
Bowers’ family had to trim expenses after being hard hit by the recession. He wrote the book to inspire others. He writes:

I was really excited to receive “Money Secrets of the Amish,” by Lorilee Craker, who is the author of eleven books including New York Times bestseller “Through the Storm” with Lynne Spears (Britney Spears’ mother). Win my copy below.
The title tickled my curiosity about the Amish way of life. How frugal are they?
Like me, Craker wanted to learn more about the Amish after hearing they were thriving during the recession on NPR. Being a Mennonite and a journalist, she wanted to know more as her own financial situation tightened. Craker writes:

I asked you to share what wealth meant to you for a chance to win “The Wealth Cure: Putting Money in its Place” by New York Times best selling author and CSI: NY actor Hill Harper and the vast majority of readers agreed that wealth is not about living an opulent life. It’s about the richness you find in your faith, family and friends.
With this in mind, Harper wrote his non-traditional finance book that teaches readers how to take control of their money. After reading all your comments, I declared reader

New York Times best selling author and CSI: NY actor Hill Harper shares personal anecdotes in his latest book on the real meaning of being wealthy. “The Wealth Cure: Putting Money in its Place,” is not a traditional financial literacy book, but it will help you control your finances.
Harper guides his readers to reevaluate their take on money. Coming from a family full of doctors and having been diagnosed with cancer, Harper writes about money as if it were someone’s health in need of treatment plan:
Our society is addicted to debt, and, exacerbating that problem, we live in a culture that associates material objects — “bling” — with success. Those two factors have led us to overvalue money. So much so that in many ways we “chase paper” just as intently as
