I’ve been reading Kevin Trudeau’s new book Debt Cures over the past several days. Among my first thoughts is that Trudeau is seeking to give power to his readers so they can take command of their own financial lives. I agree with his beliefs that the average consumer doesn’t understand the way that the banking and credit card industries work in the United States. The purpose of the Debt Cures book is to educate readers to understand the credit card system and its rules and use this information to take action and free themselves from the burden of debt. The book is written in a very simple manner that allows any reader to pick it up, read it and understand it very easily. My objective in my reviews of the book is to tell you what the book is about. Unfortunately, though, I can’t share with you all the stories and techniques that are explained in the book. Trudeau begins Debt Cures by stating his own credentials as an author and consumer advocate. He talks about the fact that the government, as well as corporate America, was angry with him after his previous books Natural Cures and The Weight Loss Cure. Trudeau says that he writes about what others do not want you to know about. He plans on revealing the secrets and tactics that takes money from your pockets and puts it into the banks’ pockets. He goes on to explain that his main objective in writing Debt Cures is, “to have a positive impact on individuals and society.”
After declaring his intention, Trudeau begins to empower his readers to tackle their debt problems and the effect that being in debt might be having on their daily lives. Stress is greatly increased by debt and the pressures of debt collectors cause higher stress levels which affect every area of one’s life. Trudeau explains that while these stresses are real, they are usually not the cardholders’ fault. Predatory practices are unfair to credit card holders according to Debt Cures. The credit card industry is using questionable tactics to unfairly increase cardholders’ debt by increase interest rates without notice, charging unfair fees as well as many other unethical acts. Trudeau also says the U.S. government does nothing against the credit card companies because of the multiple donations they make annually to many of the politicians’ election campaigns.
Trudeau promises to share the secrets of how to eliminate debt and get the creditors off your back. But it promises to go farther. Debt Cures claims that it will teach you how to use good debt to begin creating wealth for you and your family. I know that many of you are now asking, “What is good debt?” That question will be answered throughout the book. Another claim of the first chapter is that you will be able to find free money through available grants.
After reading the first chapter of Debt Cures, my first reaction to Trudeau is that he is trying to work up the readers emotions to try to take advantage of any suffering they may have due to credit card debt. However, I also believe that no matter what his intentions are, he is making important information available to the readers, and if you follow his tips you will save money. If Debt Cures helps you save on penalties and fees from your credit cards, then it will save you more than the price of the book.
