Debt-Free U (Paperback) $27.86 A personal finance expert-and full-time college student-shows why everything you know about choosing and financing college is wrong. College costs are rising at twice the rate of inflation-and much of that increase is being financed by parents looting retirement accounts and students burdening themselves with debt loads that will change the course of their financial lives. It doesn`t have to be that way. Armed with data, experience, and a stiff dose of rational analysis, Zac Bissonnette explains why so much of the "wisdom" about choosing and financing college is not only wrong but dangerous. In this original book, he explains why: ?The name on a diploma means less than you think it does ?Student loans will be the next great consumer crisis-and how to avoid it ?The myth of "fit" won`t lead to a superior college experience ?Scholarships and financial aid won`t alleviate spiraling college costs-and what will With a fresh approach to selecting, maximizing, and paying for college, Bissonnette gives practical and often surprising advice on how to get a champagne education on a beer budget. |

Deciding to Enter Tertiary Education and Taking on Debt $97.19 This research investigated longitudinally the role of debt in a cohort of 1232 finalyear New Zealand secondary school students. Two surveys were conducted to address students debt and savings behaviour and estimates, tertiary education entry decisions, and attitudes to tertiary education and termtime working. Debt attitudes were found to be more complex than previously proposed, and this has significant ramifications for debt attitude theory and research. Longitudinal comparisons suggested students become more or less avoidant of debt depending on their circumstances. However, debt attitude results still support many of the findings of earlier research such as debt acquisition preceding a more tolerant attitude change. Debt and tertiary education attitudes are not well predicted. Students report engaging in termtime working to limit their student loans, but engaging in termtime working results in lower grades in their studies. Those from the middle and higher socioeconomic classes are more likely to be positive towards tertiary education, and thus entrants, compared with the lower socioeconomic classes.

Debt Free For Life $11.99 GOODBYE DEBT—HELLO FREEDOM!   Most of us grew up with the idea that there is good debt and there is bad debt.   Good debts are generally considered to be debts you incur to buy things that can go up in value—like a home or college education.  Bad debts are things like credit card balances, where you borrowed money to buy things that depreciate or go down in value, like most consumer goods. But as America’s favorite financial coach, David Bach, points out, in difficult times there is no such thing as good debt.   There is only debt .  And all debt is too expensive—if what you desire is FREEDOM!  In fact, Bach believes the best investment you can make today is to pay down your debt, faster and smarter than you have ever attempted before— starting today! In Debt Free for Life , #1 New York Times bestselling author David Bach has written his most groundbreaking and important book since The Automatic Millionaire , giving us the knowledge, the tools, and the mindset we need to get out of debt and achieve financial freedom— forever !  Offering a revolutionary approach to personal finance that teaches you how to pay down your debt and adopt a whole new way of living – debt free. Bach unveils the Debt Wise program that empowers you to pare down your debt automatically.  You’ll learn how to calculate your Debt Freedom Day – the actual date you will be completely free of debt.  And you’ll discover that when you are debt free, you need a lot less money to live on. You can retire, even with a smaller nest egg -- perhaps earlier than you expected. David Bach has coached millions to pay off their debt and now he can guide you.  Whether you have home loans, student loans, car loans, credit card debt—paying down your debt is truly a game you can win, if you know the rules.  Debt Free For Life will teach you the rules and give you the tools to buy back your freedom.   From the Hardcover edition. |

Debt-Free U: How I Paid for an Outstanding College Education Without Loans, Scholarships, or Mooching Off My Parents $15.45 "I'm a 21 year old student at a large public university. What do I know? Maybe I'm just rationalizing the fact that I'm attending a so-so public college You'd have to be out of your mind to take my word for anything But what you should do is look at the data and draw your own conclusions. I will show you the results of some little-known studies that are likely to change the way you think about paying for college forever...I'll offer guidance and practical tips for ways to secure a better, more enjoyable, less stressful, and saner college experience for everyone involved. "A large portion of the advice in this book is hugely counterintuitive, but guess what? I'm living it. I'm not some ivory tower admissions guru spewing advice about how people should make one of the most important decisions of their lives, with no stake in the outcome." (from "College on a Dime") College costs are rising at twice the rate of inflation-and much of that increase is being financed by parents looting retirement accounts and students burdening themselves with debt loads that will change the course of their financial lives. It doesn't have to be that way. Armed with data, experience, and a stiff dose of rational analysis Zac Bissonnette explains why so much of the "wisdom" about choosing and financing college is not only wrong but dangerous. In this book, he explains: -Why the name on your child's diploma means less for his future than you think it does. -Why student loans are the next great consumer crisis in America-and how to avoid it. -Why the myth of "fit" won't lead your child to a superior college experience. -Why scholarships and financial aid won't alleviate spiraling college costs-and what will. With a fresh approach to selecting, maximizing, and paying for college, Bissonnette gives parents practical, and often surprising, advice on how to help their kids get a champagne education on a beer budget. The do's and don'ts of college: "Do" recognize that the amount your kids' friends' parents will be contributing to their educational expenses is likely far higher than it should be. "Don't" let someone tell you that student loans are not that big of a deal. Yes, they're normal, but so is being broke. "Don't" fall in love with a college or let your child fall in love with one. Every college is a combination of great professors and lousy ones, cool students and not-so-cool ones. Most of all, "do" look at college as a rational investment, not some silly coming of age ritual where money is no object. |

Borrow: The American Way of Debt $14.73 In this lively history of consumer debt in America, economic historian Louis Hyman demonstrates that today's problems are not as new as we think. "Borrow" examines how the rise of consumer borrowing--virtually unknown before the twentieth century--has altered our culture and economy. Starting in the years before the Great Depression, increased access to money raised living standards but also introduced unforeseen risks. As lending grew more and more profitable, it displaced funds available for business borrowing, setting our economy on an unsustainable course. Told through the vivid stories of individuals and institutions affected by these changes, "Borrow" charts the collision of commerce and culture in twentieth-century America, giving an historical perspective on what is new--and what is not--in today's economic turmoil. |

Hummingbird Wizard $3.95 Driving full steam ahead with her life after the unexpected death of her husband, Annie Szabo was not planning on veering off course again. But her late husband's family, an outrageous and proud clan of Gypsies, has other plans. When Annie's oldest friend, Jerry, turns up dead, she is plunged back into the family she tried to leave behind. Suspecting murder, Annie is forced to form an alliance with Madame Mina, her stubborn and powerful mother-in-law, the heart of the Szabo family. Determined to catch Jerry's killer, the two women must unlock the pattern of a tapestry wild with lawyers, criminals, kink, magic, and even more death. One thing is certain--to catch a killer with a hidden agenda, Annie and Mina must use all of their resources: ancient curses, a talent for petty theft, bizarre love magic, a Gypsy PI, and a strong sense of humor. |

Debt-Free U $12.99 This book can save you over $100,000 These days, most people assume you need to pay a boatload of money for a quality college education. As a result, students and their parents are willing to go into years of debt and potentially sabotage their entire financial futures just to get a fancy name on their diploma. But Zac Bissonnette is walking proof that this assumption is not only false, but dangerous-a class con game designed to rip you off and doom your student to a post-graduation life of near poverty . From his unique double perspective-he's a personal finance expert (at Daily Finance) AND a current senior at the University of Massachusetts-Zac figured out how to get an outstanding education at a public college, without bankrupting his parents or taking on massive loans. Armed with his personal knowledge, the latest data, and smart analysis, Zac takes on the sacred cows of the higher education establishment. He reveals why a lot of the conventional wisdom about choosing and financing college is not only wrong but hazardous to you and your child's financial future. You'll discover, for instance, that: * Student loans are NOT a necessary evil. Ordinary middle class families can- and must -find ways to avoid them, even without scholarships. * College "rankings" are useless-designed to sell magazines and generate hype. If you trust one of the major guides when picking a college, you face a potential financial disaster. * The elite graduate programs accept lots of people with non-elite bachelors degrees. So do America's most selective employers. The name on a diploma ultimately won't help your child have a more successful career or earn more money. Zac can prove every one of those bold assertions - and more. No matter what your current financial situation, he has a simple message for parents: "RELAX! Your kid will be able to get a champagne education on a beer budget!" |
