Debt-Proof Living: How To Get Out Of Debt & Stay That Way (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Mary Hunt delightfully encourages her readers to give and save their money plus reduce their debt completely. She diligently reiterates her tips in ways that are easily understood, well defined, and lightly salted with humor. She knows her business since she has been in serious debt herself which is a consolation to anyone reading her book. Her plans sound very reasonable and she includes responses from people who have used them and succeeded. She explains financial terms with detail so the newest person can grasp how to handle their funds without sounding condescending or too simple for the more educated earner. Her heart is to help and the reader will feel that to the end of the book. I would recommend this to your high school student getting his/her first job, your college bound student as she/he applies to schools and is deciding how to finance his/her education, to engaged couples or newlyweds. Anyone who needs to manage their money without going into debt is a candidate for reading this book not just those who are already in debt. Those who owe money on many credit cards will find specific assistance in reducing their debt, becoming debt free, and finding ways to handle those unknown emergencies without turning to credit cards again. I highly recommend Debt-Proof Living!I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review by Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group.

The book Debt-Proof Living: How To Get Out of Debt&Stay That Way, has been updated and released again to update us on our current status in this country and to hopefully shed some light on how to live debt free in a world that seems debt controlled at best. Mary Hunt had found herself, many years ago, under a mountain of debt and she shares with us how to be debt free and stay that way. The author states in the book..."we need to see money not as power or prestige but as provision--God's provision for our physical and material needs." It is hard to stay out of debt these days, we have to charge groceries to our credit cards just to feed our kids sometimes---that's just terrible. The author outlines many things to help us get real with our debt situation and she shows us how to get rid of it and stay rid of it, in a manageable way. God doesn't want us to be in debt, its not healthy. You should be covering your credit card debt each month instead of letting it carry over month to month. The author gives advice on many money situations you may find yourself in such as credit card debt, mortgage debt, student loan debt--she has all your bases covered. The main part of her book that I was interested in was the part on paying your mortgage off early. I decided that I am going to pay some extra on my payment each month to try and get the principal paid off sooner. Great book, Great tips!**Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from Revell.
