THIS IS THE BOOK THAT THE CREDIT-CARD COMPANIES DON'T WANT YOU TO READ So, you may be looking for a book on such a subject because you amassed a certain amount of debt, perhaps fallen behind in some payments, or even considered bankruptcy. Sometimes debt isn't even a result of overspending but just bad life circumstances such as a death or divorce of someone that helped us live to a certain standard. There is nothing to be ashamed of or even worried about. Using the strategies in this book, you can pay off your debts in the least amount of time and live free again. Imagine instead of paying everything off in five to seven years, you're able to do this in two. Can you wait that long to be completely debt free? The strategies used in this book are based on time-tested equations that will significantly reduce the time it will take to pay off your credit debt, saving you thousands of dollars. Additionally, Gerry Marrs will teach you some guerrilla tactics that will literally cut your credit card balances in half, and free you from the chains of debt bondage. The plan in this book is simple to implement, and flexible according to your lifestyle needs. The book will show you some quick-payoff principles as well as how to save more, spend less, and perhaps even make some money. Gerry Marrs calls this principle the three pillars of financial success; save, budget, and earn. When you can balance all three of these functions of personal finance, you can achieve great wealth and prosperity.
