Myth debt is a tool. I agree with some of this chapter. Keeping up with others by getting in debt is not a good idea. However, most examples were of people living outside their means. An oft asked question was 'what would millionaires do?' They don't have a surprise bill more than their monthly income. Many do use debt to get more. However, most of mine is from expenses an entire paycheck won't cover.

Are mutual funds he go to for everythung..? more than a third of the way through this book and still no plan. He dispelled more myths in this chapter. Many were useful, but many make me wonder who this is directed at.

More talking up his plan. I wonder if my big concern will even be addressed. One thing not addressed so far is also that often the poor pay more for various items. Most examples he has used so far are people living outside their means and ignoring their debt. What about those that live in their means but get a huge bill?

He keeps promising it will work. I don't like that. This also seems more aimed at people that have money already to some extent.

Not even to the meat and potatoes and already worried. I hope the 'this book is not politically correct' is not a dog whistle...
