[Ashley · Rating 3 out of 5]

It had a few typos/errors that were a turn-off for a book like this, and a few sections where it was clear a service was being promoted (although they were free ones, like Upromise), so I felt like I needed to take some of the advice with a grain of salt. However, there were a few tips that helped me out - not bad for getting a handle on the financial concepts that come with having student loans, but I wouldn't recommend it as a sole source of info.

I agree with a previous reviewer that this book does contain typos. However, the information it contains is well organized and useful. This is a good book for high school seniors to read before taking on student loan debt, as well as graduates who are not only looking for ways to pay down student loans but also looking to move forward in their financial lives with other major purchases such as a car or home loan.

There were a few helpful tips or "a-has" but overall it same the same information you read in any other financial book. Turn off lights, buy what you eat, look for ways to cut, don't eat out as much. Only read it if you haven't read a financial book before.

Good advice on how to knock down college debt utilizing various sources and sites. Expanded into knocking down debt overall which was more than I really wanted out of the book wasting precious movement of my eyes.

This book was so helpful in figuring out my student loans. I wish I read this BEFORE I went to graduate school.
