But in a culture full of bad advice, predatory banks, and splurge-now-pay-later temptations, it can also be extremely dangerous—leading you to make financial decisions that could hurt you for years to come. Combine this with a slumped economy, mounds of student loans, and dubious examples from reality TV stars to politicians to your own parents, and it’s no wonder so many twenty-somethings are struggling.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwenty-three-year-old Zac Bissonnette—the author of \u003ci\u003eDebt-Free U\u003c\/i\u003e—knows exactly what you’re going through.
