Master Your Debt : Slash Your Monthly Payments and Become Debt Free

Jordan E. Goodman · 2010
🎙 Narrated by Jordan E. Goodman (author-narrated)
68/100
👎 Skip It

Goodman's eighteen years at Money magazine show: the unusual breadth here — mortgages, credit cards, student loans, medical bills, and identity theft all in one volume — is genuinely useful for readers trying to map a complicated debt picture. The 2010 publication date matters, since specific rates, products, and regulations have shifted, but the underlying strategies hold; Goodman's self-narration is dry and businesslike rather than engaging, which suits the reference-style content even if it will not keep you hooked through a long listen.

✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.

▶ Listen to a sample

🎙 Narration: fine Goodman reads his own book with the measured authority of a financial correspondent — clear and accurate, but listeners report a dry, functional delivery that can feel flat over long sessions.
