If ever there was a time for Americans to start pinching pennies, this would be it. I am so thankful that the Lord gave us a wake-up call a few years ago. It is so freeing.
Though we have done much to cut expenses and adopt frugal ways, there is always room for improvement. And as Christmas approaches? It’s hard not to want to overdo.
I’m so pleased that there are books like Mary Hunt’s Debt-Proof the Holidays. This book is a great resource for charting a course for your celebrations as well as for your holiday spending. Mary Hunt speaks from experience as a former shop-aholic who had racked up debt with a lot of zeros on the end. She paid every penny back, but not before she learned a lot about money and budget living. This book, while addressing all the holidays, hones in on Christmas, since it can be such a budget buster. This book is a great resource to get you ready to fight off the gimmes this holiday season.
And the people at Debt-Proof Living have graciously donated three copies to LifeasMOM readers! Yeah!
