I have been trying to ge tout of deb the last 2 years since I graduated college, I ahve been reading books and they help give me perspective of where I have been and where I want to be.

However, rather than spending money on a book or books that may not have an appropriate financial approach for an individual go to your local public library. Your local public library is free & and most have or can order a book or books that you may find helpful. The money saved by using the public library -AKA- your tax dollars working for you can then be applied to your debt reduction. Most libraries have online search & book summaries on tjeir website or have onsite computers for searches if you do not have access to a cpmputer. Remember when working down your debt load -every little bit helps. For people struggling to fight their way out of debt the detailed information & tools of some budget planning books may be useful.
