Wishing you all the very best of luck! Your friend, Bob Donnelly

About the Author
Bob Donnelly, a third generation native New Yorker, connects much of his personal and professional accomplishments to his early roots-- having grown up in "The Big City." Born and raised as one of seven children in a struggling family, The Donnelly's lived in the "Yorkville" section of Manhattan in a cramped, (walk-up), tenement apartment house. Living directly across the street and also from a struggling family, was Kit Culkin, one of Bob's earliest childhood friends. While most people immediately associate Kit with his famous son, MacKauley Culkin, --Hollywood's " Home Alone Kid," Bob has a much different connection with Kit.To Bob, he was an early role model--he was several years older and a true older- brother type. In fact, in his own family, he was the eldest of his siblings and played a parent-like role while he studied unrelentingly in his personal pursuit to achieve Hollywood fame. Kit radiated a positive and "can do" attitude to others around him and served as a true early example of-- "Tough Individualism." Back in the day, the struggle was all about overcoming adversities such as poverty, limited job opportunities, and in general--the prospect of an uncertain future. Many of these issues-- as perplexing as they seemed, were actually dealt with at the kitchen table-and in a family consensus fashion. Out of shear necessity, most folks maintained a -"Just keep it simple," attitude.For example, if you needed food/you needed to seek work, if you had a loose tooth/you may have looked for a piece of string and the nearest doorknob, and if you needed a new outfit/you looked in your sibling's closet. The times called for a great deal of resourcefulness and self-sufficiency, to say the least. Remaining ever cognizant of these fundamental lessons in self preservation, Bob would later recoil this basic native intelligence by associative reasoning, into a more refined problem solving "Model," later to be used in his entrepreneurial endeavors. Bob has a profound pass

5.0 out of 5 stars wow it does work!, May 15, 2008

By	Caesar Sanzaro "casanzaro" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Once I realized it was too late to create a strict budget to help me with my immediate need to pay off my credit card debt, I heard about this book as the only one out there that enables you to gain the immediate funds by actually making simple monthly credit card charges to obtain the money to pay off the debt. The nice thing about this system is that I can do this without calling my credit card companies or taking on other consolidation loans and importantly; I was able to stave off
the threat of going bankrupt.

My only advice to others in using this system is that you must be very disciplined because you could be easily tempted to use the money for other things. The author states this throughout the book. I also like the fact that this is one of the shortest books I've ever read. I was able to finish it and understand the system in less than an hour and I'm no genius.

I decided to write this review and give it the highest rating because it just makes the most sense out of all the other books and articles I've read on how to get out of credit card debt.
