Review
"Debt does not have to be a four-letter word. Everyone during their lifetime will inevitably take on some debt. But understanding it, and learning how to manage and control it, are crucial to everyone’s financial success. This book is an excellent guide to putting borrowed money in perspective and making it work for you."

David Cork, Author of The Pig and the Python

"Acting as a coach, Stanley Kershman helps you avoid getting into financial trouble and throws you a lifeline if you do. Readers can happily gorge themselves on his high-fibre and healthy recipes."

Ellen Roseman, Business Columnist, Toronto Star, and Author of Money 101 and Money 201

"A very practical guide for families who find themselves burdened with excessive debt, and for those who want to avoid becoming overly indebted."

Charles Freedman, Former Deputy Governor, Bank of Canada

"The best way to avoid financial difficulties is to have a thoughtful and realistic financial plan. Stanley Kershman’s book offers all the necessary ingredients to create a recipe for financial success."

Pierre Ouellette, Executive Director, Ontario Association of Credit Counselling Services

5.0 out of 5 stars Reducing Plan Works!, December 5, 2003
By Diane Koven, CFP (Ottawa, Ontario) - See all my reviews
As a Certified Financial Planner, I am always on the lookout for effective, easy-to-follow money management ideas for my clients. Stanley Kershman has written a book that is a "good read." It can be read chapter by chapter or all at once (it is hard to put down!) Well laid out, each chapter has helpful hints in bold boxes and ends with a concise, numbered summary. Kershman has touched on all the real-life financial circumstances that ordinary people find themselves in and he has suggested ways to navigate successfully through the occasional rough spots. Although he practises bankruptcy and insolvency law, Kershman has shown how people can avoid becoming his clients! After reading this book, everyone should sit down, make a list of things to do, and perhaps top that list with "Find a Financial Planner."

5.0 out of 5 stars useful book, December 20, 2003
If you are looking for a "lazy" solution to debt problems (like winning the lottery!) you won't get much from this volume, but if you are really ready to tackle the debt issues, it will be very helpful. For those of us without a serious debt problem it is a reminder of the pitfals to avoid and offers some solid advice on child rearing to teach the correct attitudes. The only problem here is the people who could use/need the book the most might think that a trip to the casino or the "payday loan" place is a wiser 'investment' than this book. Too sad, indeed.
