Editorial Reviews

Review

“Vaz-Oxlade has tied together all the advice she has given over eight seasons of Til Debt Do Us Part in her latest book—Debt-Free Forever . . . She writes the way she talks, so the book is entertaining and easy to read. Many of the tips are useful even for those who aren’t in debt.”

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS WOMAN HAS CHANGED MY LIFE!!, May 12, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Debt-Free Forever: Take Control of Your Money and Your Life (Paperback)
I love Gail because she is no-nonsense but she is more than just a motivational speaker. She shows you how to get yourself in a position of financial freedom. I'm not much of an investment type so many of the financial gurus don't work for me. Gail speaks mainly to people in way over their heads and us "common folks" and tells us that it's not totally hopeless. We've paid off $10,000 of credit card debt in 2.5 years...thank you Gail!

5.0 out of 5 stars Debt Reduction the Hard Way--The Budget!!!, April 23, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Debt-Free Forever: Take Control of Your Money and Your Life (Paperback)
As a TV viewer turned reader, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Gail's book. It showed me how to make percentages of the various categories of expenses and savings thereby allowing me to make a pie chart showing where the money is going. She uses a jar method for weekly expenditures, but you could also use envelopes. I found out my rent expense was within the percentage she allowed. I always thought I was paying way too much for this expense. I use a Vacation Club and Holiday Club. I am far behind in Retirement Savings and I am taking aggressive action; plus saving to pay cash for new/used car, and the emergency fund too. Using cash and using two credit cards by paying balances in full each month with no finance charge and the debit card seem to be working with the budget-a must! Still give to Church & Charity. Thank you Gail. Keep up the Great Work!! I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Move over, Suze Orman., July 6, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Debt-Free Forever: Take Control of Your Money and Your Life (Paperback)
After watching Gail's TV show "Till Debt Do Us Part" I wanted to get some of her books. I also watch Suze Orman's TV show and have several of her books so I have a good standard of comparison. In my opinion they are both "gold". Gail's approach is a little more personable and, perhaps, a little easier to understand for the inexperienced layperson. I am a 68 year old woman whose husband of 45 years has decided he wants a divorce with limited and minimal spousal support so I am definitely an inexperienced layperson. Gail's book has "girded my loins with strength". Thanks, Amazon.com; this was money well spent!
