review 1: Mary Hunt knows the need for spending caps. She found herself under a mountain of bills and worked until she had paid back more than $100,000 in unsecured debt. Through her experiences, Mary became a spokesperson for those who have lost their way in the money management maze.Mary is a firm believer that “money mastery is not hard.” She says the decision to increase awareness of one’s finances, is the decision to regain control. By becoming educated, we also conquer fear of the unknown. Her book, 7 Money Rules for Life lays out a strategic plan for tackling and eliminating debt. She says it is the systematic attack that will win the race. The 7 Rules became her foundation on which to get her financial house back on track.I am no longer willing to be one of the ... more“77% of Americans who are living paycheck to paycheck with no savings or emergency preparedness.” I needed this book because Mary writes in a way that lets me know I can get back on top. Her tone is one of acceptance and her tools provide the means to become a true manager of money.
review 2: This book is great. I recommend it to everyone, regardless of whatever your financial situations might be like. If I were to say just one thing about it, it would be that this book should be handed out and required to be read by any person who ever opens a banking or credit account.These principles are that important, and sadly, statistics are showing that far too many people in the United States don't have a clue how to manage their money and financial decisions.With that said, I don't mean to bash on anyone or any group in particular. I am still young and have not faced the same kinds of situations as most adults have, but statistics are showing why it is imperative that my generation learns these principles, and they begin to have at least some concept of financial maturity. The book is primarily centered on 7 main rules, or principles, but there are a few other chapters that are also packed with great information. I found the statistics and charts interesting, and to my relief the book wasn't bogged down with an abundance of terms that I didn't understand. At 200 pages it's a pretty quick read, not to mention, it's extremely well written for a finance book in my opinion, in the fact that I actually enjoyed reading it from cover to cover. I'm normally not a "go-getter" type, but I even made my own charts of the 7 Rules with the concepts, as well as the 5 Rules with the Rapid Debt Repayment Plan. I found this book to be very inspiring, and it gives me confidence to follow sound principles to stay disciplined in my financial decisions, and make my life (and many others lives) easier. A must-read for anyone who likes to have more money than they have to spend :-) less
