About this listen
Credit card expert Beverly Harzog shares how she went from being a credit card disaster to a credit card diva. When Beverly got out of college, she spent the next 10 years racking up debt on seven credit cards. Credit card limits, she believed, were merely "guidelines", certainly not anything to be taken seriously - especially if she was in dire need of a new pair of shoes. The fact that she was a CPA at the time adds an ironic twist to the credit quagmire she slowly descended into.
In Confessions of a Credit Junkie, Beverly candidly details her own credit card mishaps and offers easy-to-follow advice, often with a touch of Southern humor, to help others avoid them. In this much-needed audiobook, you'll learn:
- How to use the Credit Card Personality Quiz to choose the right credit cards
- The seven ways to use a credit card to rebuild credit
- How to get out of debt using a balance transfer credit card - and pay zero interest while doing it
- Credit card strategies to save a bundle on groceries, gas, and more
Anyone in debt will benefit from the down-to-earth, practical tips Beverly offers.

Story
Investing in your future is easier than you think—discover how and achieve financial security more quickly than you can possibly imagine. Young adults are especially financially vulnerable because they’re just starting out, want a lot of “stuff,” and are not earning the big bucks yet. So, they’re borrowing too much and saving too little (if at all), and they’re in a financial mess. But it doesn’t have to be like that. Instead, imagine a life where you have peace of mind, because your financial affairs are in order, and you’re on the right path to building wealth.

It’s no wonder that you’re probably worried about your credit score.

Your credit rating influences your capacity to buy a home, land a decent financing cost on advances, and even find a new line of work. It speaks to the danger of non-installment that you present to a moneylender.

Debt is an issue that thousands of people struggle with each year. Large bills like mortgage payments, medical bills, and student loans can be a significant drain on your wallet, but an even larger problem is credit card debt. Since credit cards have such high interest rates on average, overspending and continually missing payments will quickly multiply even small bills into nearly insurmountable ones.

Very few careers can offer you the freedom, flexibility, and income that day trading does. As a day trader, you can live and work anywhere in the world. You can decide when to work and when not to work. You only answer to yourself. That is the life of the successful day trader. Many people aspire to it, but very few succeed. In the audiobook, I describe the fundamentals of day trading, explain how day trading is different from other styles of trading and investment, and elaborate on important trading strategies that many traders use every day.

Since you were old enough to hold a job, you've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. I call this soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma "The Slowlane" - an impotent financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less", there is an alternative.

Great listen (Read)
I found my focusing drafting on some parts because they were difficult to visualize as she was explaining. And I also found some of her explanations a bit confusing, but overall I'm glad I found this book and this author. I love her style of writing and the way she presents the information to you in a way that doesn't seem daunting. I'm excited to go out and try the new information that got from this book. I'll be giving certain chapters a re-listen and taking notes. I also bought her other book so I can't wait to combine the two and really become a savvy person.

Well worth it
She made a difficult topic entertaining. She took time to break down the legal jargon and offered tips for how to attack/capitalize on credit usage.

Great tips if you are an American
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I liked the first 2 chapters. Great tips if you are from the States and had issues with credit cards in the past.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
After the fact that she introduces the credit card types, none applies to the European economies. So the book became useless for me.
What aspect of Lyndsay Vitale’s performance would you have changed?
The performance was OK. Not great though.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
TOO AMERICAN
