Since using the Money Mastery Spending System we are seeing the surplus grow, no doubt about it! Money Mastery's Spending Planner and Spending Masters have already paid back our [coaching fee] and will continue to do so for years to come. Thanks Alan!

As clients of NSG (National Seminars Groups) for nearly 10 years we have enjoyed quality, detailed, and well executed training from the only premier seminar training group we recommend! During one of their training courses in mid 2007 we were pleased to find such a well organized and thoroughly planned out "Money "Mastery" course available via book and CD. Sure we were skeptical to purchase the Money Mastery book not to mention join their coaching program.
However, after speed-reading the book — it is so well laid out you can barely put it down, we found ourselves wanting more! We read the book a second time within just a few months, not to mention some items off Money Mastery’s recommended reading list, too. From simple methods to track spending to better understanding savings planning all the way to retirement preparation and even taxation, the book MONEY: What Financial “Experts” Will Never Tell You and their mentoring programs are winners hands down!
We now can't stop talking about the 10 Money Mastery Principles and even the tax laws and deductions we have learned about that are providing us a path to help start a part-time home business, something we have wanted to do for years. Money Mastery is NOT another financial lending or investment company! They are a dedicated team of experts that understand money and the emotional bond it has on all of our everyday lives. Once they helped us understand this, we were able to first track, then slowly gain control of our spending, eventually building savings — all with the same income we started with from day one! Imagine that! The Money Mastery book, audio series, and professional coaching team helped us realize then quickly eliminate our $500 per month credit card spending, all of which we were only paying the minimum monthly payment on, and quickly digging a big hole we wouldn't be able to climb out of. Today, we think before we spend and know what we can and cannot afford. If we want something, no problem, we plan for it and know it will happen. In the past few months our mini van needed four new tires and then my car unexpectedly needed one tire as well (several hundred dollars to say the least). In the past a credit card was the only way we could have covered it, but guess what? We paid from our emergency savings account for all of it! Good as cash in our hands!
We used to say "We can't afford to live this way, I need a raise or I have to find a better paying job..." but the answer was to get a grip on our spending with Money Mastery! Get the book, get involved in coaching, and get on track right away — you can't afford not to!

Dear Peter Jeppson (Money Mastery)
I can’t express enough thanks to all of you at Money Mastery. You have done so much for our family since we joined your team over 2 years ago. Before Money Mastery, my wife and I, like so many other couples, would argue over money, and where it was being spent. We use to live from paycheck to paycheck. We would get paid and hurry to the bank to beat the checks we had written, so they wouldn’t bounce. After learning the 10 Money Mastery principles and being coached by Peter Jeppson, things have changed drastically. There have been times that my wife and I have had checks that haven’t been cashed for a couple of weeks. I can’t remember when the last time we argued over money, except when joking. Thanks to Money Mastery we were able to have enough money put away into savings before I was activated with the military. While I was on active duty my pay was reduced by thousands. Having learned the 10 Money Mastery principles we were able to modify our budget and use some of the savings to get us through. Many of my comrades have not been as fortunate. We have saved hundreds of dollars and have been able to recover the money we initially invested in Money Mastery. Once again we appreciate all you have taught us and will be ever grateful for helping us start our journey toward financial freedom.

I retired at age 61, after 40 years of working in a clinical laboratory as a Medical Technologist. My partner, Donna had already retired. We felt very secure with a $200,000 nest egg and Social Security. We hired a professional financial advisor and for a year or two our retirement was great. We even took a couple of trips. Then the stock market dropped. I called our advisor several times and every time he told me not to worry, the market would come back and we would be fine.
We lost everything except about $20,000 which we invested in a couple of rental houses and fixed up the 10 year old cars, knowing it would be a long time before we could replace them, if ever. For the first time I understood why "people jumped out of windows when the stock market crashed." It is an understatement to say that we were devastated.
Fortunately, I had been teaching a class or two at a local community college. In addition I found part time employment in a small laboratory and worked part-time as a in-service representative for a scientific supply company. Donna's health problems did not allow her to seek outside employment, but she handled the rentals. We refinanced our home, got rid of our unsecured debt and scraped by. It was a very scary couple of years.
Then one day my sister called and invited me to go to a Money Mastery meeting. I was skeptical, but desperate, so I accepted her invitation. Although I was excited about what I heard that evening, I was more than reluctant to spend any money on it. We had managed to stay out of credit card debt for the past year and neither of us wanted to get back into that cycle.
After talking to Peter, we decided to treat Money Mastery as a class. The up front money was the tuition as well as an investment into the future. We made a commitment to see it through. That was six months and a world ago. We now track everything, we read the fine print on everything, and we read the paper with a new understanding of world finance. Changing a lifetime habit of sloppy money handling can be slow and frustrating, but with Peter's patient coaching we learn more with every lesson which keeps us motivated.
Recently my part-time teaching position turned into a full time contact. Thanks to Money Mastery we will be much more informed about careful handling and investing. Our future once again looks bright. We are looking forward to a second retirement in just a couple of years and hopefully a nice trip or two. Frankly, we owe it all to Money Mastery's philosophy and coaching and to my sister for telling me about it.

If only I had acted (or started or known earlier)!!! How many times have you heard or said those words?
For many years my family barely got by financially - barely got by even though at times I would work two jobs. But, it was not unusual for my wife and me to believe we were doing better than reality.
I have been a Money-Mastery student for 4½ years. At the beginning, we were a mess: significant consumer credit card debt, no real savings; pretty poor communication and relationship challenges (dare I say = money fights) which made family life miserable. Not being able to sleep was a classic symptom I experienced.
Today is different. I can express with absolute conviction: Money-Mastery works. It is an acceptable truth that “nothing works unless or until you do”. And, believe me, work was required to get out of our mess. But the “mess” was so massive, I couldn’t see a way to solve it. The Debt Pit I was in so deep, “I couldn’t be helped!”, or so I thought.
I know in my heart it would have been never or taken longer, significantly longer, had I not “found“ Peter Jeppson and Money-Mastery. And, although Money-Mastery is the first to admit they did not author the principles that are M-M (Money-Master), M-M is what I found and is what is working for me and my family. I wholeheartedly and completely endorse M-M. I no longer have sleepless nights. And while both of us work, we pay our bills, we both contribute to our respective employers’ 401(k)s, we have money in savings (and growing), and we did not have to borrow money to send our last child off to college. And, we did not declare bankruptcy. The consumer debt noted above is almost completely eliminated.
My simple endorsement for M-M is: I am grateful to be a M-M student and practitioner. I recommend M-M without reservation.

Tom and Lisa - New York
We recently bought a house, combined incomes and we're making good money. We also were living paycheck to paycheck. We never realized how much money we were spending each month on things we couldn't account for at the end of the month. Now that we've learned how to track and control our money, we are saving over $800 each month and know where every penny is being spent. Money Mastery has taught us how to live for today as well as plan for the future at the same time. With the plan Money Mastery has helped us create we are on track to pay off our 30 year mortgage in less than 10 years as well as all other bills and be completely debt free!!
Alan is such a wealth of knowledge and has taught us so much and we can't thank him enough. He showed us how the smallest of things can have a tremendous impact on your life and if you don't handle them the right way now, the repercussions could be disastrous. Thanks to Money Mastery we are looking forward to planning things we only dreamed of.
