I Love Money, But Does Money Love Me?
Charles Phillips · 2009
54/100
👎 Skip It
This self-published guide takes a culturally grounded angle on spending habits and debt in African-American communities, which is a genuine gap worth filling. At 68 pages with no editorial vetting and no verifiable expert credentials behind the advice, though, it can't carry much weight as a financial resource. The intentions are good but the substance is too thin to rely on.
