Your Money or Your Life

By Neil Cavuto

Book Overview

As the host of Fox News Channel's Your World with Neil Cavuto and Cavuto on Business , Neil Cavuto reports on today's most influential business leaders and newsmakers. His great talent is to get beneath the issues, connecting people to the events that define them and changing the way that Americans think about their money. Ending each show with a provocative, insightful commentary, Cavuto stirs people to see the world in a new light, calling on them to think beyond the stories at hand and challenging people to reevaluate the world that they live in. In Your Money or Your Life , Cavuto compiles the best of these commentaries in one volume, creating a collection that is at once witty, thought-provoking, and inspiring. Covering a variety of topics--from remembering life before 9/11, to providing tips for empty nesters--Cavuto presents a wry yet evocative look at our world, one that speaks to the heart of the American condition. Spanning one of the most tumultuous decades in memory--from the wild and chaotic Clinton years through the sobering challenges of the War on Terror--Cavuto's words offer a window into our America at its best and its worst.

Best part of the show

I have always enjoyed the commentaries Neil Cavuto has at the end of his shows and I love the fact that he has compiled the best into this book.

Comical

This book is very amusing throughout. How can big oil companies make such a profit um, um. It is called business. They are in business to make money, thats what businesses are for. Everybody keeps talking profit, but what really matters is profit margin (and inventory profit for those of wondering why gas prices automatically go up when crude oil goes up)Take for instance you bought a house 11 years ago for $100,000. Today that house is worth double, $200,000. You sell it. WOOOW You made $100,000 profit, but wait are going to be a homeless hobo on the side of the street? Didn't think so. You have to buy another house to live in. You buy another house for $190,000. Man, now YOUR PROFIT FROM $100,000 SHRUNK TO ONLY $10,000 BECAUSE YOU HAD TO REPLACE WHAT YOU SOLD! IMAGINE THAT!!!IT IS SIMPLE ECONOMICS, TAKE A COLLEGE COURSE. JEEZ.

True Cavuto

If you look forward to Cavuto's commentary at the end of his business show on Fox News, you will really enjoy this book. It is one of the rare instances when it may be even more enjoyable to read broadcast writing than it is to hear it on the air. Neil Cavuto's book, Your Money or Your Life, is a collection of his on-air commentary. Because the commentaries were originally written for broadcast, it is great to read aloud to friends, relatives and at discussion groups. Each brief commentary has a date and a title. The commentaries are organized into categories within the book such as: Advice, Taking on Taxes, Being Wrong, On Death and Dying and more. The book is easy-to-read, well organized, cleverly written and humorous! A great gift!
