By Jerrold Mundis. How to Get Out of Debt is built on the principles of Debtors Anonymous, a twelve-step program founded in 1971 to help those who struggle with compulsive debt. Mundis was himself a debtor, and he based this book on his own experience. This isn’t purely theoretical information from the mind of some Wall Street finance whiz who has never struggled; this book contains real tips and real stories from real people. Bantam (1990), English, Paperback: 272 pages.
To achieve freedom, prosperity, and abundance you need to go beyond pat advice to the heart of why we spend and why we accumulate debt. Mundis wants to get behind the math, to force you to examine your attitudes, beliefs, and ideas. Whether you are currently in debt or fear you're falling into debt, you are not alone. Forty million Americans--from doctors to secretaries, from executives to the unemployed--face the same problem and live under the same daily stress.
