Recommendation

In the aftermath of the 2008 recession, many Americans had to try to climb out of a financial hole. In her informative manual for US consumers, financial expert Shari Olefson provides useful advice on how people in financial trouble can find a fresh start. The book might benefit from stiffer proofreading in spots and Olefson’s tips can be obvious – don’t spend, protect your investments, and so on. However, she’s only laying a foundation. Once that’s established, she does a good job of communicating worthwhile information, including how new financial regulations affect consumers. getAbstract recommends her counsel to those seeking to clear up their financial lives.

Take-Aways

  • The 2008 recession spawned what some feared would be a “financial armageddon.”
  • Today’s still-troubled economy provides opportunities for financially beleaguered Americans to gain a fresh start.
  • Improve your financial situation with this five-step plan: Step one: Modify how you bank and how you borrow money.
