Excellent Principles shared in this book, but with some dates info
I definitely recommend this book to anyone desiring to learn how to break free financially and get on the path of financial freedom. I appreciate how easy the book is to read and understand. Some of the examples in the book are dated and most of the links are broken. However I still recommend this book because the principles it teaches are timeless and will help those looking for financial freedom. I would love to see the author release an updated version with modern examples and new links for further learning. Either way it is worth the read and I’m even having my 20, 17, and 14 year old girls read it! Life changing stuff for sure!

Simple principles to build wealth
This book provides universal principles to build cash flow without complicated concepts. I like the simple visual illustration of the thoughts of the poor vs rich. I thought it was clear that skills are needed to develop the habit of creating systems for your business to become free to think instead being an employee of your business limiting your time to work on growing the business.

Not what I was looking for.
The website links that were listed in the book. Did not work. The author mostly boasted about his success. I didn’t receive what I was looking for in the book.

An Encouraging Guide for Anyone Ready to Rewrite Their Financial Story
In From the Trash Man to the Cash Man, Myron Golden offers readers a motivational account of how he rose from humble beginnings to achieve financial success — and how others can do the same. His message is clear: wealth begins with mindset, faith, and the willingness to take consistent action.
Golden’s writing is accessible and conversational, which makes complex ideas about wealth creation feel manageable. He draws heavily on personal experience, blending life lessons with simple financial strategies, all anchored by an unwavering belief in personal responsibility and perseverance.
While some readers might wish for more depth on specific financial strategies or business models, the book’s real strength lies in its motivational power. Golden doesn’t claim that wealth happens overnight; instead, he stresses that disciplined thinking, faith, and hard work are the cornerstones of lasting success.
From the Trash Man to the Cash Man is best approached as a mindset manual rather than a technical financial guide. It’s ideal for readers who need encouragement, perspective, and a powerful reminder that their past does not define their future.
A motivating and practical reminder that anyone can build wealth with the right mindset, faith, and persistent effort.

Impactful Book from an Impactful author; needs update
I love Dr. Myron Golden! Wisdom he shares on YouTube for free is incredible and will make you wonder why we are not paying Him for the impactful content he delivers.
This was a great read, very similar to “rich Dad poor Dad”, but Financial principles are what they are. No matter delivery of the content, principles are the same. I appreciate learning of Myron’s story to get to where he is. A revised version of this book would be incredible, but at the same time this is more of the genesis of his story, and details of where he was at that time. Him and his businesses have both come a LONG WAY since this book was originally written, so I do not believe that a revision would be possible. It would have to be a new book with the same principles.
Ultimately, it was a good read, and I thoroughly appreciate not just a financial principles, but also the traps that he covers within this book as well, that will hinder us from financial success.
If you recognize that this book was written in the mid 2000s, but you appreciate the wisdom and principles for what they are, you will find value, insight, and a roadmap to a truly transformed financial life.

Better financial wisdom than I’ve ever received
This book is life-changing. I am on a hard-core mission to obtain wisdom. I’m tired of being broke all the time, and this book has shown me why I’m broke. Not only that, it has given me a truckload of tools to generate wealth. I’m excited to change my future and the future of my family! Thank you, Dr. Golden!
I also ***highly*** recommend his YouTube channel where he discusses these principles in many different videos.
(Note: many of the links in the book are no longer active because he has changed what classes he offers. Just do an internet search on his name, and his current sites will come up.)

Education aimed at Legacy Development.
I have been following Mr. Golden a few months and when I realized his books were available on Kindle with no wait. I couldn't wait. Read this one while making dinner and relaxing in the evening. Just a wonderful educational experience. I will be adding this to my children's reading list as I homeschool. I'm raising entrepreneurs and future business owners. Thank you, Mr. Golden.

Thought Provoking & Informative
I really like how the information was presented: inclusively and simply. There were things that I was familiar with and had even somewhat implemented but lacked in follow through, that Mr. Golden clarified and confirmed for me; giving me plans of action. That’s what kept me reading. There are some very useful life nuggets in this book that I believe can help everybody;, especially young people today who have the drive but not the discipline.

I stumbled upon this great man on YouTube and decided to read his book. It was a great decision one thing I’ve decided to do this month is the 6 Cans. This book is a quick and great read. I would advise you to take your time and let what’s within these pages sink in.
I highly recommend this book as a starting place for those who want to get on the path to financial literacy and independence.

I remember meeting Myron Golden years ago at a networking marketing seminar. His talk was profound. Trash Man to Cash Man book was discussed there but I didn’t purchase. I am so glad this book came back around years later watching his YouTube videos. So many great principles & knowledge to take with me. Brought a couple of the books he recommended reading as well in the book. Happy took the time to read this

I would highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone. Just the pure way the concepts on how money works and is spent are well worth the retail price of the book alone. I also enjoyed the little nuances that the author included about his personal journey of overcoming financial bondage. This will definitely be a book I reference continually.

This book was eye opening, I’ve read others as well and implementation of the processes in all of them will change the lives of not only me and my wife but my children, children’s children, and there’s as well! Focus is key for me right now because I agree 100% with the principles.

The book is about 16 years old but the principles are timeless. It helps you look at money and how we view our relationship with money. Most importantly it makes you believe you can change your life with actionable steps. Good read.

Good principles easy read
Solid principles. Good read. Easy to understand. Fix the links in the kindle version or remove them. My opinion Network Market still doesn't work. But maybe you can prove me wrong. Cite your Bible version. Give more context and don't quote the word haphazardly.
