You’ve seen the headlines. Canadians are greatly overextended in debt, a paycheque away from serious trouble, and further at the mercy of the vast financial system that controls most of our lives.
The stakes are high. The game is rigged. And yet, most Canadians know little about how the debt world really works. Even worse, they don’t know that with a little knowledge any Canadian can make the debt system work for them, instead of against them.
This book is a short guide to tipping the debt scales back in your favour. This book will be your weapon against debt, your financial education that should have been taught in high school, and hopefully a cold dose of common sense to help you avoid falling deeper into those financial traps that attempt to reduce our ability to build long-term wealth and divert our paychecks to the banks, credit cards, and high-interest lenders.
Reading this short book might just be the best step forward that you will ever take to finally secure the healthy financial future that awaits you, with your debt firmly, and finally, under control.
