From the Inside Flap

You can get out of debt, prepare for your future, and live within your means-all on your current income and with your current resources.

What was that? You must be joking! You don't know my situation!

Yes, dear reader, this means you.

Mary Hunt had incurred enormous debt when the business she and her husband had started failed. They not only had no income, they had no liquid assets and were four months behind in their mortgage. They had all the elements that frequently prompt divorce, bankruptcy, and the loss of a home and family.

That's when Mary learned to redefine, and become, a "cheapskate"-one who saves consistently, gives generously, and never spends more than he or she has. She and Harold climbed out of debt and worked to create lasting financial harmony in their marriage. And with Debt-Proof Your Marriage, you can too.
