Your review has me wishing I would have had this book during my high school years and my early twenties. My decisions on college, buying my first house and credit card use wouldn't have me in the financial hardship I'm in today if this book was written seventeen years earlier. This book is going to be given to each one of my kids as they enter high school, I want them to be better prepared for the real world than I was at 18.

Thanks for the great review. This book would be so beneficial to a lot of people, young or older. People who want to go to school so they can change careers and people who are just starting out in life. I like that there is a section on how to stay debt free and save for retirement

This sounds like a really informative book. I wish I had the section n credit when I was younger. I had no idea how to get credit until it was too late. Thanks for your review.

This book almost sounds like a how to guide instead if a self help book. I don't usually like self help books, but it does sound like a good idea to have it available for teens in a guidence councilor's office. Not everyone learns how to go about applying for college or has parents who can help guide.

I probably won't be reading it, but the review was interesting and well written. Thank you for your thoughtful review.

This is a great guide for high school and college students. I struggled to choose the best career path for me. I ended up wasting too much time, too. Lucky for me, my parents were supportive and paid for my tuition.

I do not often read self help type books, but this one does sound like something I would look into. Reading the review as well as the information about the book, I do wish that this was something that was around when I was in high school and starting my college career. I look forward to reading this as the free book of the day, but as of what I know now, I probably would have paid for this if it is truly as good as it seems.

This review did a very good job at relaying how important a book like this is. I wish that I had been given this book when I was still in High School. Debt can be very stressful, preparing preteens and teens for post-secondary loans is a priceless tool. :D

:oops: I really enjoyed spending time reading this book. For this is a great achievement for the author who shows how to be able to be less indebted during the course in college and university this guide is really exceptional case it also allows to go up the moral of anyone disappointed and who is afraid to face college and university. I recommend it to everyone, whether you are in high school, college, father or mother because this book opens doors for us 💗
