Debt-Free by 30: Practical Advice for the Young, Broke, and Upwardly Mobile

Jason Anthony, Karl Cluck. Plume Books, $14 (256pp) ISBN 978-0-452-28213-1

In their 20s and way over their heads in debt (despite having good educations and comfortable jobs), Jason Anthony and Karl Cluck did something about it. Now they're Debt-Free by 30, and offer practical advice for the young, broke and upwardly mobile in a book that's as slick as it is solid. Most books about managing debt make for dry and guilt-ridden reads. Here readers (even those over 30) can cheer up and take charge of decisions about credit, health insurance, financing a car, where to bank and spending money.
