The Road to Riches: Pros and Cons of Credit presents a thorough guide to understanding credit and how to use it wisely. Looking at the rise in consumer debt in the United States, the information in this program is needed and should be widely distributed. Worksheets and exercises accompanying the video will help viewers develop skills to handle credit responsibly and use it to their advantage. As in Basic Money Management, two hosts, the animated car, and the same financial professionals teach viewers about credit card offers, credit reports and their use and importance, and bankruptcy and alternatives to bankruptcy.

Again the combination of peer hosts and financial experts results in an interesting, informative video which will help provide a rich learning environment. Expertly produced, the video in conjunction with the accompanying activities provide teachers with the tools needed to educate students in a very practical life skill. Besides school libraries, public libraries will want to provide this valuable information to their patrons.
