Join us – 30 days to a Debt Free Christmas Challenge

Think about January – are you stressed because you went overboard for Christmas?  You may now be surrounded by Christmas credit card bills, and feeling flat out defeated.  Are you ready to have a debt-free Christmas this year?

How to Have a Debt-Free Christmas:

For years, I would have a Christmas hangover in January.  Do you know that feeling of regret because you spent too much money?  I would see the toys that I was still paying for, laying in the bottom of our toy box, unplayed with, unloved.  I remember year after year of feeling that sting of regret, and that I had put us into more debt paying for Christmas presents. This post shares some of my best tips for dealing with the Holiday Hangover.

But don’t wait till after the fact – this year, start BEFORE the holiday!

When you don’t have any extra money and you are already dead broke,  how do you pay for Christmas? This was the question I asked myself every year, and the answer was always – TO CHARGE IT.  I didn’t see any other option at that time.

I decided several years ago to stop the crazy cycle of debt, charge more on my cards to pay for Christmas, regret and learn how to have a debt-free Christmas.  It took some failure and many uncomfortable changes, but I can say that for the past six years we’ve had a debt-free Christmas and it feels INCREDIBLE!

How The Debt-Free Christmas Challenge Works:

That is just what we are going to do this month of November, in our 30 DAYS TO A DEBT FREE CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE.  For the next 30 days, I will have posts about how to spend within your means, how to make extra cash, and how to have a debt-free Christmas.

Each day you will get a challenge in your email, so be sure to sign up for my email list below and get a free budget pack to help.

I will also post it in our private 30 Days to a Debt-Free Christmas Facebook group, where you all can talk about your challenges, encourage one another, and be a cheerleader for others when the world around us seems rooted in overspending.

I have run this challenge in the past, and each year it just gets better! I am SO excited about this, and my team and I have been planning it for months. We add in new tips from prior years along with momentum from those who love to repeat the challenge. I really hope and pray that this challenge will help you this holiday season!
