Norm can make the complicated world of finance and regulation understandable to a wide audience.”

“Everyone should read this book, especially young people starting out in the work force. It shows how to take control of our economic lives and avoid the many financial traps ensnaring so many Americans today. These are the lessons of financial security and independence—in a book that is easily read, crisp, and timely.”

“Most people know—some from bitter personal experience, others from observation—that financial insecurity and, in particular, debt are among the things that today threaten then health and well-being of families across our nation. But debt can be avoided, and financial security can be achieved. Norm Champ explains how, and does so in plain language and a straightforward style. I especially commend his book to young people who are embarking on careers, and young couples who are starting out in life together. It contains wisdom they can ill afford to miss.”
