Debt Free for Life: The Finish Rich Plan for Financial Freedom Hardcover – December 28, 2010

David Bach knows what's up when it comes to money. This guy is great at relaying his message & not boring you to sleep when you think about finances. I've read several of his books & "Debt Free For Life" is one of the best. He gives you real life answers to your money questions & is very easy to read. I got through the book really fast & wanted more of his advice so I got another one of his books called "Start Late Finish Rich" and it's great too. My bank account thanks David Bach for sharing his knowledge. I'm RICH!

David Bach hits the mark again - by putting into practice the profoundly sensible advice, teachings and astute understanding of finances I have learned where I've been making my mistakes, David has once again provided the average lay person with the means to take control of finances - at whatever age (and I loved the "Start Late, Finish Rich" book) and become self-sufficient through discipline, common sense and practicing principles he teaches. Thank you for you very practical approach to looking after money.Ruth Rosamond

The Automatic Millionaire was great and helped me immensely. However, over the years I both strayed and became too comfortable with my financial plan. David's Automatic Millionaire Homeowner seemed to repeat ideas from past books, but had information that was useful, as did Start Over Finish Rich, but really didn't grab me. But Debt Free for Life is in the spirit of The Automatic Millionaire and has reignited my focus and has some great new ideas! I highly recommend it!

Starting the New Year off right by using this great refresher.. This guy is insightful and very knowledgeable in the finance area. I paid $3.99 including shipping (with tax $4.13 total), how can you really go wrong? There are lots of critics about the book out there, I thought this book had some good, do-it-yourself suggestions on how to be pro-active and buckle down and get financially savvy with your future. I invest in a 401k, but if there are helpful tips to make better decisions I want to know about them. Buy it used , read it and (do what I am doing) pass it on.

I've heard of David Bach's book collection before but when I saw his book I figured I'd give it a read. This book talks about debt, which many Americans are facing today, I have not implemented his strategies as of yet, but coming this time next year I'll be putting all his ideas into play when I have to start paying my student loans. I think this is a great read for anyone who is or will be struggling with debt and wants to get out.

At some point David Bach has become a brand in addition to an author. As with most brands, there are many income producing cogs in a complex machine. He directs readers to his website and Facebook page dozens of times; he touts his Debt Wise Plan, a collaborative business venture with Equifax, as a necessity to getting out of debt which makes him money and will cost readers $14.95 a month; he references his astoundingly successful Finish Rich series an innumerable and aggravatingly number of times; when you're a wildly successful brand I think your team is less hesitant to offer constructive criticism.The "meat" of this book is towards the end. Bach covers in depth time barred debt (statute of limitations applies so creditors cannot legally collect) replete with graphs that highlight different state laws. (Chapter 11); Bach touches on how to find your "Lost Money" -he offers tons of sites beyond the atypical state Treasurer offices to claim your unclaimed property (money). (Chapter 16); Mortgage Debt, the book addresses the importance of retiring all debt, including mortgage debt, Bach reiterates his suggestion of paying your mortgage every two weeks, how to determine if re-financing is a good option for you. (Chapter 9).The critical and principal difference between this book and The Automatic Millionaire is the passion, inspiration, speaking to the psychological reasons and barriers why people mindlessly squander their hard earned income servicing their debt in monthly payments instead of delaying immediate gratification and pursuing their lifelong dreams of retirement, travel, sending children to college debt-free. When I read the Automatic Millionaire, I actually cried I was so moved. This book seems to have been written in a detached style.Everyone knows how to pay off debt and build wealth. It's not just about the numbers, it's about your goals, your passion, your dreams, what's driving you. It's about creating the life you want, the life you crave, being intentional about your decisions.......In that sense Bach truly missed the mark.

I am a financial coach and I feel like this book is excellent for anyone working with people in debt or for anyone who is in debt. I have read a number of David Bach's books and I have found each one of them valuable.

David Bach has done it again. He's written a book to benefit us all. This book is not just for those who have enormous debt. It also gives clues about how to keep the wealth once you've gotten it. And it tells how to get that wealth quicker.Debt Free For Life: The Finish Rich Plan for Financial Freedom
