Debt Free For Life: The Finish Rich Plan for Financial Freedom
GOODBYE DEBT—HELLO FREEDOM!
Most of us grew up with the idea that there is good debt and there is bad debt. Good debts are generally considered to be debts you incur to buy things that can go up in value—like a home or college education. Bad debts are things like credit card balances, where you borrowed money to buy things that depreciate or go down in value, like most consumer goods.
But as America’s favorite financial coach, David Bach, points out, in diffi

Same as the others …,
I like David Bach and have purchased several of his other books but this one is not any different from what he has offered in the pages of all of the others. This was a total waste of money to me because I already have read this same advice in his other books repeatedly. This book seems to have been written primarily for the chapter on Debt Wise which is his partnership with Equifax. I wouldn't advise you purchase this book if you have any of his others, there is nothing new.

|Financial expert shows how to get out of debt and live debt free,
I had never read anything by this author before and not sure I'd even heard of him. But I read this book and found it quite good. It's a valuable resource and has numerous helpful ideas. Unfortunately, the author spends a lot of precious space promoting some of his money-making ventures that, while no doubt helpful and useful, can be a bit expensive to already strapped readers. I have no major issue with this. Certainly we can't nor should we expect anyone to provide valuable information for free. Yet when we pay for a book, we sort of expect that to pay for the information. Having said that, the author has made this and at least one other of his books available free online. So I guess he uses it to promote himself and his businesses.
I found that a lot of the information and tools are available free online. His website is a bit of a pain to navigate, with popups and other annoying things.
He didn't answer the question that Suze Orman left in many people's minds about getting an emergency fund prior to paying off debt. But he certainly does help a person gather all he needs to plan a real attack against debt and if nothing else is garnered from the book, this is worth the price.
It is a helpful book and some areas will concern the reader perhaps more than others. But if you're looking for help in getting out of debt, this is a great place to start.
Highly recommended.

|Repear information,
Very similar from all of his previous books. This book felt like a sales pitch for his previous books and debtwise throughout. Not much new information to offer. I really enjoyed his book, Smart Women Finish Rich. This book didn't add anything new to my basic personal finance knowledge. Definitely not worth your time if you have read any of his previous work.
