Reviews for Solve Your Money Troubles

Nolo Press is already a trusted name in my household- they publish great "do it yourself" guides to many of life's issues. "Solve Your Money Troubles: Debt, Credit & Bankruptcy" is a great practical guide to understanding your credit, debt, and helps you plan how to dig yourself out of a hole. If you are stuck in the credit rut, read this book before spending hundreds or thousands on a bankruptcy attorney- you need to know your options and the consequences of your decision. I would recommend this guide to anyone who wants to gain understanding of their financial picture and learn how to manage their money more effectively. You can create a financial plan for yourself and your family, and get rid of the fear and torment of money problems.

Nolo books are always thorough and tell you exactly what you need to know. This one is no different. I always recommend them to library patrons when we have one a the topic they are searching for.I received a copy of this in the early reviewer program.
