Отрывок из книги

Like many Americans, I have a complicated history with debt. In my 20s living in New York City, I spent more than I could afford, borrowing to fill the gap and running up my credit card. I was living above my means, digging myself into a hole of debt with no experience of knowing how hard it would be to climb out.

I couldn't get out of it on my own. Eventually, I met my future wife, and after we married, she pulled me out of my debt with her savings – not a great way to start a marriage.

Most personal finance books are really works of pop psychology – a bag of tricks to make you feel better about your finances, not actually improve them. Paying off your lowest balance credit card, for instance, instead of your lowest rate credit card, may make you feel better about your finances, but in the long run it will actually make you poorer. And, as Tom shows in this book, having no mortgage or debt might make you feel better, but it may also cut off your best path to wealth.

Tom lays out how to move into a better financial position without needing any tricks.
