David Logan Scott · 2005
58/100
👎 Skip It
This 2005 guide is a clean, no-jargon primer on credit and debt — useful in its day, but two decades of regulatory and market changes have made chunks of it obsolete. The credit-card section gets praised, and the accessible approach is genuinely friendly. As a current resource, though, readers are better served by an up-to-date alternative.
