Book Synopsis
A hard-hitting look at achieving financial freedom by avoiding excessive borrowing and spending

If you don''t actively resist America''s culture of debt, you''ll end up precisely where the government, banks, and big business want you to be: indentured servitude. The mistakes people make with their money are basic, and avoidable, and unless you understand what they are, you''re probably going to repeat them. What you need is someone who can shed light on the obstacles we face and show you how to avoid getting tripped up by them.

Financially Stupid People Are Everywhere shows how society is rigged to take as much of your wealth as possible, and simple ways you can resist. It investigates, explains, and offers advice for all those who have fallen into debt, taken a second mortgage, been trapped by credit cards, or found themselves unable to get ahead.

  • Discusses what you can do to stop the destructive cycle of borrowing and spending
  • Illustrates
