Alan Akina’s new book, launched May 1, is the top rated eBook at Amazon.com’s Kindle Store for Money Management, and is also rated number three on Amazon.com’s book list for Budgeting and Money Management.

The book, “the super duper simple book on money“ by Alan Akina, is available now as a free eBook until May 14 and as a traditional softcover printed book.

It is easy to read and understand with some cool new ideas:

- It has links online to YouTube videos of people he uses as examples and some of the charts in the text
- It has QR codes for those readers who buy the soft cover book letting them see those same links on their smartphones. That’s neat.

The book is designed for average families that can’t seem to keep from falling farther behind and don’t see how they will ever own their home or pay down their debts. Alan Akina uses language everyone can understand and explains the five money principles everyone needs to know.

“The five super duper simple money principles should be taught to every High School senior in America… and their parents,” writes Ken Krebs, CEO, CRI Steel.
