How to Free Yourself From Credit Card Balances, Boost Your Credit Score, and Live Debt-Free
Winner of the American Society of Journalists and Authors 2016 Outstanding Nonfiction Book Award in the Self-Help category and an Amazon #1 Bestseller.
Sometimes, the lay-off-the-lattes or the cut-up-the-credit-cards advice works, but more often, it doesn’t. You know why? Because we’re all unique and the reasons we got into debt differs by person. This is why a one-size-fits-all approach to debt elimination can’t possibly work for everyone.
The Debt Escape Plan: How to Free Yourself from Credit Card Balances, Boost Your Credit Score, and Live Debt-Free helps you create a custom strategy for getting out of–and staying out of–credit card debt. I know this works because I’ve done it myself. I’m a former CPA, who ironically, racked up over $20,000 in credit card debt. I could calculate earnings-per-share for a multi-million dollar corporation, but I approached shopping as if it were an Olympic sport and I was going for the Gold.
When I finally made the decision to take back my life, I started reading everything I could get my hands on about personal finance. Every time I tried a “proven strategy,” I was only partially successful.
You know what worked? Creating my own custom debt-elimination plan.
In The Debt Escape Plan, I share everything I’ve learned about getting out of debt and living debt-free. In my book, you’ll learn:
- How to use the Money Personality Quiz to customize your own debt escape plan.
- How to overcome the hardships of medical bills.
- Seven secrets for giving your credit score a quick boost.
- The nine biggest debt mistakes and how to overcome them.
- How to debt-proof your future so this never happens to you again!
