In this shocking and illuminating road trip through an America ravaged by debt, award-winning film director James Scurlock examines our multitrillion-dollar addiction to easy credit in all of its absurdities and contradictions.

Maxed Out ventures beyond the mind-numbing statistics to expose a financial industry spinning wildly out of control. From the gilded master-planned communities of Northern Las Vegas to the shotgun shacks of the Deep South, the world's largest financial institutions are trolling for customers, hooking the nouveau riche and the poor alike with promises of cheap and easy credit. Maxed Out exposes how Wall Street and Congress spawned the subprime mortgage crisis and reveals how credit card issuers form multimillion-dollar partnerships with universities -- paying them millions for access to their students' personal information, setting kids up for financial ruin before their first job. The industry's final frontier, debt buying, is a veritable Wild West in which ambitious young men make quick fortunes off the misery and misfortune of others.

Hilarious, fascinating, and deeply disturbing, Maxed Out is one man's answer to modern America's most pressing question, Why can't we get out of debt?

Loving this book
Format: Hardcover
When I woke up this morning I felt a real desire to write a review about this book. When I bought it I was intending for it to be a daily reflection. I wanted something that would be manageable and would feel like an infusion of loving self care. Even though I am only on page 104, I look forward to reading just one page. Then I find myself reading a second page, a third page, a fourth page... Recently I read a post by Brene Brown that talks about "microdosing hope" during tough times. Nedra Glover Tawwab microdoses the reader with hope, love, kindness, peace, compassion, healthy boundary setting, and recommitment of our vows to ourselves. She offers these reflections in a way that you feel like you are talking to a good friend. Gentle and loving. Some reflections are reminders for me. Some share new information. Some offer suggestions on how to do boundaries and self care in new ways. I highly recommend this book. Like me, it might be hard for you to stop at just one page...
