Customer Reviews

Author has/uses real experience

I felt like the author really understands the struggle with debt and finances. He doesn't come across as a snob or know-it-all. Most importantly, it has helped my my husband and I finally get on the same page financially. He read this book with enthusiasm, cover to cover. We can now talk openly, with ease, about our financial goals.

Logical, Simple Solutions

Mr. Clark's book is a great tool for anyone during these tough economic times. It's full of simple, logical ideas and written in a staightforward, no-nonsense way. His ideas are full of common sense, are readable and compelling.

By far best advice to get yourself out of debt!

This book will help you beyond belief. You would think that reading a book about debt would put you right to sleep but this book is filled with nothing of the sort. I laughed the whole time! Ken Clark mixes his life experience, good humor and incredible knowledge about financing to create an easy read. His book aids you in managing your money instead of throwing it away so you can finally relax! If you feel like your bad habits are destined for life, you've thought wrong. Read it!

Oh so practical

I am amazed that before you even get out of the first part of the book, Mr. Clark makes sure you have a picture of the enormity of your debt, but that it is balanced with hope that you don't have to stay in debt. The practicality of this book is awesome. Throughout are also little tidbits of the psychology of debt that make you believe that you aren't just following some program to get yourself out of debt, you are creating a lifestyle that is free from debt. Even if you aren't in debt, or if you are just starting out in your financial freedom, this book will help educate you on the american system of debt and how to stay free from being enslaved by it.
