Publisher's summary

You have a good job, you work hard, and your family is depending on you. Yet every month your credit card balance grows while your savings dwindle. Why is it so dang hard to get our debts in check? Probably because your credit card statement, weekly shopping routine, and even the phone in your hand are crammed full of purple elephants.

You think you need every one of them. You tell yourself they are essential. You are not willing to give them up, because each one of them adds a layer of superficial comfort to your life. But the truth is, purple elephants will spiral your debt out of control and damage your retirement, your family, and your peace of mind. The things you buy in the name of convenience are the same things that keep you awake at night, wondering how you're going to get out of this black hole of debt.

Join Paxton S. Finnegan as he helps you retake the helm of the out-of-control safari that your financial life has become. For the next seven weeks:

• You will lead an uncompromising expedition through your financial life.
• You will track for signs in your bank statement, credit card bill, mortgage, personal items, leisure time, and even your social media.
• You will partner with your family and make them your most valuable allies, rather than a source of festering resentment.
• You will implement strategies to eliminate, reduce, consolidate, or restructure your debts.
• You will begin a new journey of savings and investments.

It's time to reevaluate what is "essential". It's time to cull the herd. Gather the whole family together; it's time to hunt some purple elephants!

Great book

This is a great book that is excellently narrated. This can help so many people. In times when living costs are increasing at an alarming rate, we can all look at ways we can save money. This book has given me some great tips for looking at my finances in a different way and for how to control my spending on unnecessary things. I have already implemented some of these and am starting to see real improvements. A great one to give to your teenage kids to, giving them a head start.

The Elephant in The Room!

This time of year is extremely hard on the pocket. Here in the Uk, we have high fuel prices and the cost of living is going up and up. Hunting Purple Elephants is all the "7"'s, 7 steps in 7 weeks. This very well-produced audiobook will help you to eliminate unnecessary spending and increase your household income. It's a great book.

The kick in the butt we needed

I love the no-nonsense way this book spells it all out. You're spending too much. You're not taking advantage of all the ways to save. Snap out of it! Lol. There's also a lot of compassion there; we're just not taught how to do this, and we need help as adults. I really enjoyed it. And the narrator is awesome.

Enticing!

This is one of my favorite topics to learn more about, as I feel like you should always be checking in on your spending and finding new ways to put your money to work.
