Review by TheHudHud98 -- Debt Cleanse by Jorge P. Newbery
I think many of us assume that when things get tight financially, we have to resort to bankruptcy. I can say that without a doubt, after reading Debt Cleanse by Jorge Newbery, that might not be the case. There can be a whole slew of reasons people resort to bankruptcy. Some reasons could be from medical expenses, job loss, poor or excess use of credit, or even unexpected expenses.
Most Americans struggle with some form of financial obligations in their life at some point, except Newberry topped the cake with owing more than $26 million. Jorge Newbery eliminated his debts without entering bankruptcy. This debt resulted from a natural disaster that ravaged his multi-million dollar business. His discovery of finding a way out of this debt came by accident.
Creditors commit careless legal mistakes, and Jorge Newbery latched on to any discrepancy he could find to exploit them. He discovered the smallest of errors can turn into a victory. As a result, he used the methods he gains from his first case to extinguish all his debts. If this isn't inspirational to the majority of people, then I don't know what is.
In the first chapter of the book, Jorge Newbery compares humans to chickens. He means that all the lifelong output of a chicken becomes garnished by humans. Hence, we represent the creditors in this scenario. The chickens provide us eggs and, eventually, their bodies for meat. In exchange, we provide them with food and a place to stay. Chickens outnumber humans at a ratio of two-to-one, so they can turn on us if they wanted to. Why don't they then? It's simple. They have become comfortable enough that they don't. The reason that he presents this comparison is to unveil the curtain of the elite in our country.
I really liked that the book gave real-life examples of how to assert our rights and defend ourselves against creditors. However, some may consider the book to be a lot to handle as a quick read. I recommend everyone take the time to go through the book slowly to absorb the information effectively. The quality of the text and its content is too solid to pass up. Plus, the author even lists his website to readers who might be experiencing financial hardships to get the help that they need. His inspirational book is well-edited as I could scarcely positively identify a few errors. I recommend that young adults read this book. This is an excellent guide for teenagers, as they will have to learn how to deal with their finances. There is genuinely not anything critical I could say about this publication. I rate it 4 out of 4 stars.
