From Minus to Million

Most money books hand you a system. This one hands you a life. Dana Cole is thirty-eight, works in a hospital kitchen, and owes $25,600 she can no longer pretend not to see. Over twelve months — one chapter per month — she adds up her real number, stops the monthly leak, attacks her most expensive debt first, survives the month everything goes wrong, and reaches the first month she adds nothing new. Then she builds a second income from the skill she already has, saves a $1,000 floor before investing a cent, and starts investing only her surplus, with the honest million math shown in full: what it takes, how long it takes, and why it is a direction, not a deadline. No windfalls, no secrets, no lectures. Just a woman, a notebook, and a system that survives real life, with patience, order, and a little humor — with one small exercise at the end of every month, so you can walk the same twelve months yourself, starting tonight.
