Summary: Fabulous Way to start a marriage
Review: I feel so lucky that a friend recommended this book to me just a few months after my wedding. It's absolutely the best financial management and planning book I've read. I recently took the Crown financial studies bible class at our church and felt miles ahead of the game for having read this book and beginning the recommended management only 1-2 months before (By the way, the recommendations in this book are even better when paired with the Crown study - a course recommended by many finanacial planners). Shortly after our wedding we experienced sudden, large car and home repair debt. Having started the savings program we were able to manage the problems without incurring more debt.
The first 1/3 of the book is about strengthening your marriage and learning how to communicate with your spouse, pointing out that without it financial stability is difficult at best. Then it's down to the nitty gritty -- explaining her financial principles and incorporating them into your life. I won't say everything she recommends will come easily, but a little stick-to-it-tiveness will reap great rewards.
Buy it, give it as gifts to newlyweds. Great, great book!

Summary: Life Changing Book
Review: I find Mary Hunt's book and on-line monthly newsletter very helpful. I am rereading Debt-Proof Your Marriage and have printed several issues of the newsletter to get "back on track" from where I was after I read it several months ago. When I'm doing what she says, my bank account grows. My relationship with my husband improves, as well!!

Summary: I love this book!
Review: I have just started reading this book, but feel that it was written for my husband and me. I love it and wish I could take a day off work and just read it. I am already planning to buy this book to give as a wedding gift. I wish my husband and I had had it when we got married. What a lot of grief it would have saved us.

Summary: Practical, useful and very user-friendly
Review: I like this book because it's not a lecture. But it's not a softball, either. I always wondered why money was so hard for me and my wife. I thought it was because we were so different, but now I know better. This book is giving us specific tools we need ... not a bunch of platitudes. We're going to get the workbook, too (I've never been interested in workbooks). I feel that finally we're going to get our money problems figured out. Thanks Mary Hunt for being so candid and open about what you went through and how you and your husband were able to turn it all around and showing us exactly what to do. Awesome book!

Summary: No More Money Arguments
Review: Numerous reports indicate that married couples argue more about money than anything else. Mrs. Hunt's book offers practical help. The book begins with a brief look at her admitted mishandling of funds early in her marriage. But she and her husband decided they loved each other enough to work out their financial woes. And wow! They sure did. Writing from firsthand experience and years of expertise, Mrs. Hunt explains her non-failing formula to get out of debt. The chapters build on one another, including understanding your money personality, goal-setting, developing a spending plan, slashing romance-killing debt, setting up a workable savings plan, and perhaps most importantly, learning to communicate with your spouse out of mutual love and respect. Marriage is worth fighting for. As Mrs. Hunt says, "Happily married couples view problems as 'us against the problem', not 'us against each other'. They identify themselves as a team." Build a better relationship with your beloved spouse by reading this book together and then applying the principles.

Summary: Great, honest book I can actually put into practice
Review: One day at work in the break room I came across this book--obviously someone had forgotten it there. I was curious and probably bored so I flipped it open to the middle and immediately devoured a whole chapter. Midnight infomercials on how to change my life and financial situation make my stomach quesy and I feared this was the same kind of book. It's not. It's the story of a woman and the financial disaster she wreaked upon her family. It's also how she escaped it and what she learned. I realised quite simply finances and how to manage them properly were never really taught to me. She provided a great educational service to me in that one chapter. I left the book in the break room, but ever so often I remembered the book and vowed to find it. I only vaguely remembered the title and so could not find it. Then one day it reappeared in the break room and I immediately went out and bought it after I memorized Mary Hunt's name. I am grateful after reading the whole book that I have finally learned some skills that will allow my husband and I to control our money instead of our money controlling us. I will also add that if you want to cut your grocery bill, read Ellie Kay's Shop, Save, and Share. You won't regret reading that small paperback either.

Summary: Read it, Learn it, Live it!
Review: This book is the first and last debt management book you will ever have to read! It was refreshing to know that Mary had went through the same things that so many married couples go through - enormous debt. I know that I can learn more from someone who has been through what I am struggling with than from a person who has written a diet book that has never been overweight! I finally came to the conclusive reality that my husband and I were in way over our heads when I did the Rapid Debt Repayment Plan. What an eye opener! Thank you, Mary, for showing us the light. Now I can see one at the end of the tunnel! God Bless!
