Debt is something that can be avoided if individuals learn about it early. If parents teach their children finances while in high school it will carry over into their adult life. Joseph Lorick explains all there is to know in Did Everything But Think. This 15- chaptered guidebook will help readers learn how to stay clear of debt and how to get out of debt. I am sure everyone would love to be debt free.
Lorick starts with a brief history of generational handling of finances. The book covers several topics such as the different influences that may cause debt, how to buy your first car, when to move out of your parents’ home and the difference between renting and having a mortgage. I enjoyed these particular chapters because they opened my eyes on how to avoid making mistakes when it comes to big decisions. The author’s examples and scenarios provide readers with a clearer picture as he explains different levels of finances.
The author takes a different approach in sharing valuable information by using storytelling techniques along with personal experiences. I appreciated the sample budgeting worksheets that can be used as a tool to start readers on their journey to financial freedom. This was a helpful book that should be shared with high school and college students. I recommend this book to others.

Great book with a lot of knowledge to take away. Not necessarily a guide to rid yourself of debt but more so an overview of how our nation got to the point it is in regards to debt dependency. Only reason it gets four stars is because the book is sprinkled with grammatical errors.
