•Book Review Of How To Get Out Of Debt By Harrine Freeman
Walk into any bookstore and I will bet my last dollar that there is a whole shelf of books aimed at teaching the reader the fundamentals of becoming a millionaire in 10 easy steps!
It all sounds fine, and it makes for a fun read, but generally speaking it is just a bunch of junk that has little to do with the real world. The real world is a bad place.
