Now she shares the secrets to wealth in her new book, ZERO DEBT. Its based not just on Lynnettes professional knowledge, but also on her first-hand experience.

Unfortunately, neither of the candidates is making consumer debt a top priority in their campaigns -- even though Americans are deep in debt and filing for bankruptcy at record levels," Lynnette says. Mr. Kerry, however, has made some interesting proposals to help consumers in debt. One of them would require greater disclosure by credit card companies, forcing them to reveal the true cost of credit in bold type by stating how long it would take a person to pay off his or her debts if only minimum payments were made."
