I'd been hiding bills from my husband so we would have money for Christmas shop- ping, but it wasn't enough. It never was. Every credit card in my vast collection was maxed to the limit. With only seven days to go, I was desperate. The pressure of the season was taking its toll. The stress was nearly unbearable. I don't remember much else from that miserable Christmas. If there was any joy, it was lost in the shad- ow of the frantic last-minute shop- ping and all the debt I had added to an already out-of-control situation. Of course, the regular bills couldn't hide forever, so their reappearance in the new year did not endear me to my husband. Add to them the bills for all that Christmas shopping and you'll have a small idea of the angst in the Hunt household. Since that low point of my life, I've made a U-turn on the road to financial ruin. It took nearly 13 years to repay all the horrible debt, but the important thing is that we did it. We paid back a six-figure load of unsecured debt, and in the process, it changed our lives. If there's one thing I learned from that Christmas so many years ago, it is this: Stuff quickly fades, but debt goes on and on. Being sick and tired of starting each year with a holiday debt hang- over for stuff no one remembers is the catalyst that can make things different for you this year. You have to say, "Enough! I'm not going to do that anymore." No matter how much or how little cash you have to spend, staying away from credit card debt is going to change your holiday experience in ways you never dreamed possible. Here's my challenge for you: This Christmas, lock up the credit cards and let me show you how to experience the best Christmas ever with no debt, less stress and more joy! Mary Hunt Are you ready to take the Christmas Chal- lenge? Raise your right hand, and repeat after me: "I accept the Debt- Proof Living challenge and pledge to do whatever it takes to get through the entire holiday season without using any kind of credit that would result in debt."
