5. How to Get Out of Debt, Stay Out of Debt, and Live Prosperously
By Jerrold Mundis

How to Get Out of Debt is built on the principles of Debtors Anonymous, a 12-step program founded in 1971 to help those who struggle with compulsive debt. Jerrold Mundis was himself a debtor, and he based this book on his own experience. This isn’t purely theoretical information from the mind of some Wall Street finance whiz who has never struggled; this book contains real tips and real stories from real people. If you’ve tried Dave Ramsey without success, read this. It’s 20 years old, but the information is timeless. To read a sample of this book visit http://amzn.to/11u6WFc
