A groundbreaking guide to “how you can get the most value for your money . . . If you don’t want to waste a decade languishing in student debt, this is the book” (Zac Bissonnette, New York Times–bestselling author of Debt-Free U). There’s a better way to do college. The radically counter-cultural truth is that students don’t have to be totally dependent on Mom, Dad, or Uncle Sam to get the most out of college. Graduation on a solid financial foundation is possible. But it will require intentionality, creativity, hard work, and a willingness to delay gratification. Alex Chediak gets into the nitty-gritty of how to get work and make money during the college years, pay off any loans quickly, spend less, save more, and stay out of debt for good. He also unpacks how to transition from college into career, honor God while achieving financial independence, and use your finances to make a positive, eternally significant difference in the lives of others. As a young engineering professor with an aptitude for finances and money management, Chediak has become particularly concerned with the financial health of young adults, especially in light of the ever-increasing costs of college. In Beating the College Debt Trap he does something about this problem—addressing the real-world financial issues faced by those in their late teens and early twenties with clarity, practical help, lots of illustrations, and a little humor, while conveying a distinctly Christian perspective.

This major study by a leading British historian examines the social and legal foundations of the British ruling class--the great landlords and the gentry--from the late seventeenth century, when it freed itself from many of the constraints of royal power, to the twentieth century, when it was subsumed by mass democracy. Habakkuk's comprehensive book addresses the question of why, in the first industrial nation, the landed elite so long retained its role. This thorough examination of the structure of the landed family, its estate, and its relations with other social groups sheds light on this problem, and makes a major contribution to historical debate. It will be of interest to scholars and students of early modern and modern British history, especially social, economic, legal, and family historians.
