Zero Down Your Debt: Reclaim Your Income and Build a Life You'll Love
Holly Porter Johnson & Greg Johnson · 2018
🎙 Narrated by Joe Wosik
68/100
👎 Skip It
Holly and Greg Johnson's zero-sum budget system is grounded in their own real $50k payoff story and gives you concrete, followable steps rather than vague platitudes. It doesn't break much new ground beyond Ramsey-style basics and a couple of readers found the prose flat, though the workbook structure makes it easy to act on regardless; narration quality is unverified so go in without expectations there.
