Synopsis Unless a person has already developed good financial sense by the time they get their first credit card, it can be very easy to slide into debt. What starts out as a small celebratory spending spree (such as moving into one's first apartment) can evolve into a seemingly inescapable situation as interest becomes compounded at a staggering rate. Feeling there is no way out, one may decide to pursue the solace of spending more, and this may become a compulsion. This is the root of debt addiction, a very real problem comparable to food or alcohol addiction. Mark Bryan and Julia Cameron take a compassionate view (they are both recovering debtors themselves) of this problem, listing all the different types, from the "Big Deal Chaser" to the "Poverty Addict," explaining how people get this way and how to adapt a manageable plan to get out of debt. Financial charts and planners help the reader keep track of the slow rise from under to over.
