Debt-Free U: How I Paid for an Outstanding College Education Without Loans, Scholarships, Or Mooching Off My Parents by Andrew Tobias, Zac Bissonnette
2.0
I had heard some excellent things about this book. However, I was displeased to find it is voiced to parents rather than students trying to pay their own way. No worries, I can easily translate "your child" to "you". My major problem with reading this book was it wasn't very helpful with things I didn't know already and felt more like an expose on the higher education system. I felt the title is misleading to the topics actually covered.
There is some advice, however like another reviewer said, by the time some people pick up his book, they already have the idea that debt is bad and are looking for more "meat" rather than "milk".
GOOD READ for parents helping their kids out with their education and have no idea where to start
BAD READ for students trying to pay for their own education without parental help OR for parents who already have a grasp of Debt is Bad 101
