BUS After having experienced debt and the loss of assets, White, chief financial officer of an undisclosed $30-million-a-year corporation, turned her situation around and now knows the joy of being debt-free. She provides readers with a regimen for accomplishing the same feat (with the cautionary note that the ideas are hers and that legal, financial, and other professional advice is not intended). By taking responsibility for managing and spending money wisely, learning how to see through the hype of credit card offers, creating and interpreting personal financial statements, setting financial goals, eliminating unnecessary spending, and paying close attention to automobile purchasing, insurance (life, health, home and auto) needs, and taxes, she explains, readers could eliminate debt during a five- to ten year period. Helpful and simple forms and instructions are included along with a useful bibliography and a current list of Consumer Credit Counseling Services. Recommended for all public libraries.
