The Money Mentor: A Tale of Finding Financial Freedom - Business
By Tad Crawford. Getting rid of debt and bringing your financial house in order has never been easier with this modern-day parable on the art of achieving financial balance. Written as an entertaining, up-beat novel, it provides readers of all ages with the essential step-by-step tools they need to put their financial houses in order, eliminate debt, and increase income. At the heart of the story is 23-year old Iris, a dancer who, like thousands of fellow Americans young and old, is suffering from acute financial turmoil: with half a dozen maxed-out credit cards, an open bill with the IRS, and a job in which she doesn't make enough to pay back her debt, she can hardly afford a long-overdue visit to her dentist. Condemned to immobility in the examination chair, Iris finds herself facing a dentist who is not only trying to get to the root of her tooth ache, but to the stubborn source of her debt addiction. It is the beginning of a long journey during which Iris will encounter Saidah Samuels, a financial advisor who practices "financial planning from the heart" and who leads Iris to realize that debt is not only a financial, but also a huge emotional and psychological burden. Besides its practical solutions, this extraordinary personal finance guide brims with rare facts and inspiring anecdotes, illustrating from every imaginable viewpoint that yes, there is a life after credit card debt, student loans and home equity borrowing. If you think that you need to get a better grip on your personal finances, or if you have a child in college who is constantly being tempted by credit card companies, this book will prove an invaluable source of clarity and moral support. 6 X 9, 272 pages; Softcover, ISBN 1-58115-085-7.
