Customer Reviews

You can't afford not to own this book

Tackling personal finance as a young adult is extremely difficult, especially if you don't know where to start. As a recent college graduate with too much debt, too many credit cards, and too little income, I was looking for a way to get myself on track. I picked up a copy of "Don't Spend Your Raise" and immediately discovered that I couldn't put it down! Ms. Duguay's recommendations have been so helpful to me. Do yourself a favor and spend the twelve bucks on this book. It might save you thousands down the road..

Got Debt?? Read This Book

Having struggled with substantial credit card debt and personal problems over the last few years, I turned to Dara Duguay's "Dont Spend Your Raise And 59 Other Money Rules You Can't Afford To Break" for sound advice on budget and financial planning. I found it to be absolutely invaluble. Ms. Duguay not only provides the black letter rules that help with day-to-day and month-to-month spending decisions, but she also pares them with real life stories that bring the rules to life. For example, she advises consumers to set aside money for an emergency fund, and then tells the story of poor Brendy who had to take job at Starbucks after her boyfriend left her just to pay the monthly bills.Like I said, an invaluable book....for yourself....or for your kids who are just graduating from high school or college.
