From the Back Cover

Debt is a four letter word!

But that doesn't mean it's all bad! We've come to believe that credit cards are evil and that all debt is bad debt, but it's just not true. The reality is that credit and debt are just tools in our financial toolbox, and like any tool, if we use them incorrectly we end up with a bruised thumb . . . or worse. Many of us just haven't been taught how to safely use credit and debt to manage our finances and accomplish our goals.

The Guide to Credit and Debt Management will show you how to gain control over your credit and debt, whether you're just starting out or have accumulated big balances on your credit cards. In a conversational tone and user-friendly format designed for your busy life, the Guide to Credit and Debt Management will help you

- Understand the different types of credit that are available
- Navigate the credit application process
- Effectively manage credit once you have it
- Determine if you have too much debt
- Eliminate your debt
