Zero Debt: The Ultimate Guide to Financial Freedomby Anonymous

June 09, 2008: I guarantee you that none of the information provided in this book will be new to you. I thought a day by day guide to relieving debt would be interesting, but most of the daily reads focused on the negative aspect of being in debt. If you are in debt, you don't need to be repeatedly told how bad it is to owe money. You already know. Also, from the very beginning, the book had a negative tone. I almost completely gave up on it when she told me that I should be angry and to use all my anger to get out of debt. Frankly... I'm not angry. Just annoyed with student loans, if nothing else. Didn't like it. Not very helpful at all. Negative. And she seems to think that Rutgers University is located in Princeton, New Jersey. It's not. It's located in New Brunswick. Princeton is located in Princeton. That annoyed me, too. If you really have no idea where debt comes from or how it effects your life, then maybe this is the book for you. If you have a head on your shoulders and even the tiniest sense of how to balance a checkbook, move on to a different title.

April 13, 2005: This is a 30-day guide to financial freedom. Many may not need to follow the guide verbatim because some things may not apply. The tips start with evaluating your financial situation. Khalfani suggests writing it down, because once you see, in writing, how much debt you have then you can start your blueprint to becoming debt free. Visualize what?s causing the undo stress in your money worrying woes. The next and most important step is to determine ?how? you?re going to get rid of the debt. This is where the pitfall begins. Most think, ?If I don?t have money to pay the debt, where am I going to get extra money to pay more on the debt?? The answer: Simplify your life. What does that mean? Get rid of those things you think you need (i.e. cellular phones, expensive cars, weekly hairdos, cable TV, etc.). Once you?ve completed the first two steps, the rest is easy. The first step is always the hardest. Zero Debt explains financial jargon like: FICO, IRA, adjusted rate, 401(k), etc. before information on the subject is presented. Regardless of your level of debt, you?ll find some useful tips in this easy-to-read book. In short, here are some of the basics to experiencing Zero Debt and financial freedom. Evaluate debt. Stop creditors. Talk to your creditors and let them know what?s happening. Get rid of the unnecessary; stick with the necessary. Pay more on debt. Check your credit yearly. Check your FICO scores. Write letters disputing discrepancies on your credit report. Don?t write the credit reporting agencies; write the creditors directly. Start a budget and stick to it. Consistency. Start a savings plan by making small deposits, and gradually increase them as your debt decreases. I like Khalfani?s approach to becoming debt-free. Most of what she wrote, I?ve already heard; however, hearing it again didn?t hurt. Sure this book is not going to solve your money problem; only you can. But you have to make a concerted effort to stick to the program. The only suggestion, from the author, I don?t recommend is going into a debt-consolidation program. Why pay someone to do what you can do yourself with a simple phone call? Think about it. What makes a stranger asking to reduce your interest rate more credible than you, the customer, calling to ask the same question? Not to mention, sometimes those services damage your credit rating. Hmm, something to ponder. Reviewed by Esther 'Ess' Mays for Loose Leaves Book Review
