Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I really just didn't find it helpful. In the first chapter she has a 10-question quiz to determine your knowledge of basic financial principals (should you re-fi your home to pay off credit card debt?) and based on those answers, determines whether or not you're in debt trouble. According to her, I'm in great shape! Wonderful! Except...it's not true. I KNOW the principals, I just like to spend. And spend. And spend some more. She also seems to operate on the premise that you own a home - great....unless you don't (I don't). Lots of irrelevent information - 2 full pages of checklists of when to inspect certain things around your home - way off focus. Tell people they need to keep their biggest investment in good repair .... but let them go elsewhere for the details. I could go on but I'm sick of typing. I HIGHLY recommend "How to Get Out of Debt, Stay Out of Debt and Live Prosperously" by Jerrold Mundis - first day I picked this up was Day One of a 4 month stretch of not using a credit card once. Very inspiring.
