Gener@tion Debt
Take Control of Your Money - A How-To Guide
by Carmen Wong Ulrich
Gener@tion Debt covers everything from where debt originates to overcoming it.
According to author Carmen Wong Ulrich, college education and student loans are the main
sources of debt for most young adults. The book describes a catch-22 most people face:
finding money to pay for an education in order to get a better job that pays more money.
Also, it explains the problems today's young adults face, such as credit card expenses
and health care costs that add to growing debt.
After establishing the source of debt, Ulrich offers many suggestions to help people
take control of their money and manage it better. Several approaches can be taken, such
as how to save or invest money. When it comes to managing the credit cards or handling
student loans, Gener@tion Debt breaks down many of the options that are available.
One of the best things about the book is that it discusses not only getting rid of debt,
but how to make and save money through smart money choices! It breaks down complicated
things like setting up a 401 (k), buying a car, or buying a house into simple terms that
are easy to understand. It provides readers with an overall picture in order to help them
make better decisions that ultimately save money in the long run. Strategies to manage
money are straightforward, and lots of opportunities where money can be saved or made are
shared with readers.
The book should be a requirement for all high school students. It contains vital information
that every American should know, and it promotes smart money management in almost every
situation. |
