Managing Debt For Dummies Paperback – Illustrated, January 1, 2007

Good book. Read the whole thing on my toilet. Now my toilet is gold and I wipe with money. You can be like me too, but this book, dummy...

I love the "Dummies" books. They are simple and easy, but they do get the job done. It helped me a lot and made me realize how close I am to getting into serious financial trouble. I am working with a credit counselor to get on a budget in addition to the many tips given in the book. I recommend this book to anyone who is heading down the same path.

Great book. Straight forward, clear advice. Could be more complete, but then it would be harder to read fast. It's an excellent starting point!

Very good. A bit long towards the end, but very helpful nonetheless.

Book consists of the same advise being repeated enough times to fill every chapter. Maybe one or 2 good peices of advice, but nothing ever in depth. It's like a drunk relative telling you "here's the plan...." and then rambling the same generic "advice". Save your money and just do a light Google search. Same stuff.

great book and in excellent condition

This is a fast, simple read that allows your to jump around different sections with little confusion. It has some good tips on getting rid of debt and saving more for the future, and above all it give advice to appreciate what you already have and don't feel the need to constantly buy new things!

Not knowing where to start untangling the mess I'd made for myself and way too embarrassed, even ashamed, to ask for help kept me living in vagueness, not ever adding up the numbers. Managing Debt for Dummies made it safe to come out from under the covers and look at my financial situation. Ventura and Reed not only have a friendly, non-judgmental tone to their advice, they break the road to solvency down into manageable pieces and guide us forward step by step. It most reminds me of the feeling I had as my dad ran alongside my bike the first rides after removing the training wheels. The fear is still there, but knowing he's there to guide me, I'm able to take the risk, all the time feeling an eminent sense of independence.
