Publisher's Synopsis
Turns out your parents don't know everything. . . Especially when it comes to money. Find out what your parents don't know! Learn how to become wealthy without falling asleep over another boring finance book. Splash some water on your face and grab a coffee because your wakeup call is here. Your paycheck will matter unbelievably little in the pursuit of wealth. Just got a degree? Don't care. Hoping to land a better paying job? Care even less. How you manage debt throughout your life on the other hand, matters a great deal. For college students, it matters that much more. I played the college debt game and came out on top. Here's the most important thing to take away from my book: The amount of debt you graduate with determines, to an incredible degree of accuracy, how much wealth you will build in your life. Those saddled with large sums are the statistical sharecroppers, while those with no debt are Gatsby. Look How Big My Debt Is digs into my personal struggle through college, credit card, and consumer financing to point out where I went wrong. Each chapter examines the way our society has created a false sense of success with debt. Clearing the smoke and smashing the mirrors, Look How Big My Debt Is opens your eyes to what it truly means to have and build wealth. It starts with surviving the fiscally perilous journey through college, examining how to avoid the most detrimental of financial moves.The Debt Free Mind acts as a road map through this otherwise uncharted territory for college freshman. The book continues on to engage you in the safest ways to build their credit history without touching the consumer credit third-rail (minimum payments). The epic ends by guiding you through the best way to set up your retirement for smooth sailing. Because, Yes, even you will one day be old enough to retire. Each section is told from the perspective of someone who's walked in your shoes and has the holes in his socks to prove it. Who wants to read about debt? Almost no one. Who just might take a peak to see how big it is? Almost everyone. -Enjoy
