"Debt-Free U" - Required Reading for Students and Parents!

I just finished reading Zac Bissonnette's book, Debt-Free U: How I Paid for an Outstanding College Education Without Loans, Scholarships, or Mooching off My Parents. I first heard about the book through an interview that Dave Ramsey did with the author on his radio program. I have to say, this is a fabulous book that every high school student and every parent of a student considering college needs to read! Zac has a wonderfully casual style of writing while also loading up the info about how to get a great college education.

The first two chapters especially are vital reading for students and parents. They are eye-opening in ways that you would not believe.

The rest of the book is filled with great information, as well, though you may find yourself skimming some chapters depending on your background and biases. The only area I would take issue with Zac is in the area of faith-based colleges as I don't think he sufficiently factors in the benefits a Christian college can offer to students who are Christ-followers. However the book overall is phenomenal and one I would highly recommend. I've checked it out twice from the library and may end up purchasing my own copy for my kids to read and eventually to lend to others.
