I listened to this book as an audio book CD while driving around in my car. While I'm not in debt, I have some family members in debt and wanted to learn more. If there is anything I've learned from this book, it is that I never want to be in debt! While debt is temporary and people can get out, it is emotionally and [obviously] financially difficult. Bach explains how credit cards work and what compounding interest does to people. For instance, if someone borrows $10,000 on credit cards, over time with interest, they can really owe upwards of $20,000 or more. I also learned about credit counselors, debt consolidators, bankruptcy, scam artists trying to help with debt, and more. From a law perspective, it was interesting to know that some debts can be forgiven after a certain amount of years. It also was fascinating to learn about unclaimed money that I can search for on government websites. Bach is a compassionate soul that really aims to help people be financially free. Whether you're in debt or just learning about finances, I recommend you read this book.
