» Jenn Greenleaf - This sounds like just the book we need!

This sounds like just the book we need! My husband and I used to have VERY good credit when we first started out together in 1998. One and a half babies and several residential moves later we're a far cry from anything good. Thanks for the review, we'll check it out!

Hi Jennifer,

I liked what the book had to say, and how the author said it. No frills, just a very positive, focused approach to getting our credit and debt situations under control. If you get a chance to use it, I hope it helps.

Thank you, Cynthia

Sometimes the deck really seems stacked against average consumers; it was good to read a book that tries to shift the power back into balance.

Hi Debbie,

Thank you for reading. Managing debt and credit seems to take up a lot of people's time and energy; it would be nice if we were able to put that energy to better use! I think this book might be able to help some people get back in control.

» MarketProfit - What about home equity loan or cash-out refinance?

Seems to me that a good way to tackle too much credit card debt is to first cut up the existing credit cards (keep one for emergencies). Then, look at getting a lower interest rate by contacting the credit agencies, or by using equity in your home (either a 2nd or a refinance with cash-out).

You're giving some good advice. In her book, Sember also includes those two strategies, as well as others.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments.
