This book was very helpful in explaining not only how to manage personal student loan debt but also create (and stick to!) a workable budget. I’ve avoided my personal finances for years but, with advice from the book, have now developed an actual, working budget. And the checklists at the end of each chapter lay out what you need to do in easy, digestible tasks.

The book is packed with easy to understand tips for how to maximize your tax return as a college student. The author does a terrific job of breaking down the basics of how to get out of debt- responsibily. This would make a GREAT gift for any student about to graduate this spring. Also a wonderful resource for parents who have kids that are about to graduate.
