Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
The author of How to Get Out of Debt, Stay Out of Debt and Live Prosperously here tackles the problems of another fiscally troubled group, those who are earning only enough to meet their needs. He touches on but does not treat in depth the destructive self-image that makes underearning only part of a syndrome. But he does offer advice for treating underearning, beginning with three cardinal rules: do not incur debt, do not take work that pays less than you require and do not say "no" to money, i.e., ignore opportunities to increase your income. Mundis urges drawing up a "spending plan" (not a budget, which is too constricting) and recommends such relaxation techniques as meditation and deep breathing. In what looks like padding, he also presents an adaptation of the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.

From Library Journal
Mundis (How To Get Out of Debt, Stay Out of Debt and Live Prosperously, LJ 2/15/88) attempts to warn wage earners about the problem of underearning, defined as consistently gaining less income than is necessary for providing oneself with adequate food, shelter, and clothing for daily needs. He estimates that 20 to 30 million Americans at all levels of occupation suffer from this problem. Mundis uses the principles and practices of Alcoholics Anonymous in his consideration of underearning, addressing it on individual and family levels with practical examples and suggestions. He discusses determining a consistent spending plan, the differences between types of debt, and the 12 steps to get out of debt and avoid underearning. Readers who have experienced fiscal problems, particularly those in debt, are the audience for this title. Public and corporate libraries might also purchase for their self-help collections.

A Very Helpful Tool For Learning How to Earn More!,
By Jenny Cohen "Jenny Cohen" (La Jolla, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Earn What You Deserve: How to Stop Underearning & Start Thriving (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is a great tool to use if you know you are earning less than you deserve, or have done so in the past. It helps you bring to light patterns within you that contribute to underearning, and gives practical and spiritual methods for earning more money in your life. You do not have to be a chronic underearner to benefit from this book- it can benefit anyone who has had past experiences with lack. The book will help you realize you are not alone, and there are ways to release experiences of lack and limitation in your life through spiritual and practical means. Especially helpful for people who are interested in Debtors Anonymous, or feel their debt is overwhelming. It covers the 12-step program used by Debtors Anonymous, but applies it specifically to those who underearn. A powerful self-help tool!

Underearning lacks originality,
By
This review is from: Earn What You Deserve: How to Stop Underearning & Start Thriving (Mass Market Paperback)
"Earn What You Deserve" is a basic rehash of Mundis' earlier book "How to get out of debt, stay out of debt and live prosperously." with an emphasis on what he calls underearning. Unfortunately, not only does the material in "Earn What You Deserve" lack originality, but it borrows heavily from the earlier book; in many cases entire pages of vertbatim quotes are used. This is a cheap writer's trick that Mundis employs by creating "filler pages" of earlier text. Buyers, save your money; buy the original (it's a pretty good book) but don't waste your money on this rewrite.

12 Step Program for Underearning,
By A Customer
This review is from: Earn What You Deserve: How to Stop Underearning & Start Thriving (Mass Market Paperback)
I first read a book written by Mundis when looking for help with my cronic writer's block, and while his system didn't produce an instant cure it continues to give me a bit of understanding and support for times when the pen won't write and the keys won't move. Like many writers Mundis confesses to periods of ineritia, and underactivity, and uses the 12 Steps to help guide the underemployed and underpaid to rightful livelihood. This is not an business book in the strict sense, he's more a kindly godfather whispering good advice, and dishing out the daily chores for making a living. If you wonder why your friends always seem to have more, why raises never come to you and why you are always starting over, the answers are here; and the advice is reasonable even for people adverse or unwilling to do a 12 Step program,
