Great advice ... wish I had known about all this before getting in over my head!
Great book. Straight forward, clear advice. Could be more complete, but then it would be harder to read fast. It's an excellent starting point!

Repetitive AND redundant
Book consists of the same advise being repeated enough times to fill every chapter. Maybe one or 2 good peices of advice, but nothing ever in depth. It's like a drunk relative telling you "here's the plan...." and then rambling the same generic "advice". Save your money and just do a light Google search. Same stuff.

Has some good ideas
This is a fast, simple read that allows your to jump around different sections with little confusion. It has some good tips on getting rid of debt and saving more for the future, and above all it give advice to appreciate what you already have and don't feel the need to constantly buy new things!

The light at the end of the tunnel!
Not knowing where to start untangling the mess I'd made for myself and way too embarrassed, even ashamed, to ask for help kept me living in vagueness, not ever adding up the numbers. Managing Debt for Dummies made it safe to come out from under the covers and look at my financial situation. Ventura and Reed not only have a friendly, non-judgmental tone to their advice, they break the road to solvency down into manageable pieces and guide us forward step by step. It most reminds me of the feeling I had as my dad ran alongside my bike the first rides after removing the training wheels. The fear is still there, but knowing he's there to guide me, I'm able to take the risk, all the time feeling an eminent sense of independence.

Unhelpful tone
I didn't find this book very helpful, if anything the opposite. I didn't realise that the information in it is all tailored for Americans and the fact that it assumed I was a parent made it even more irrelevant for me. I found the book's tone very judgemental - it did not acknowledge that people in debt are already ashamed and embarrassed and if anything should be encouraged that they are taking steps to face up to and remedy their situation.
