In this book, you'll learn the real-world, street-smart rules for managing and protecting your money -- told through the everyday experiences of people like you. Never before have such valuable insights and sage advice been stated in such a witty, informative, and straight-from-the-shoulder way.

And that's no accident. The product of a lower-middle-class family, David W. Latko is a self-made multimillionaire who today manages more than $100 million in client assets -- and he did it by applying the plain-spoken truths contained within these pages.

But Everybody Wants Your Money is not just one more book that promises get-rich-quick secrets. Rather, it is a detailed guidebook to protect yourself from the money traps we fall into by trusting our families, financial advisors, neighbors, or friends -- who mean us no harm but know little about building wealth. And Latko arms you against the unscrupulous predators who covet all that you possess -- and in the process will rob you of everything you need to achieve true financial security. Latko's book lays bare the scams and con games that target each of us on a daily basis, and tells you how to recognize -- and defeat -- those who delight in fleecing the unwary.
