Are you still digging out from Christmas debt? Are you having a hard time figuring out how to pay your bills? Do you dread going to the grocery store and spend all that money? Are your credit cards maxed out..(yes, plural)? Are you waiting for your tax refund so you can make it through the month?
We used to be there. In debt. Struggling. Now, thankfully, we are not living that way anymore. We are not completely out of debt, but it doesn’t control us any longer. Why? Because of the principles like the ones shared in the book I am going to review and giveaway. (Thanks, Barry and Stacy for the giveaway!)
Okay, you may be thinking…really? This is what you are giving away? We are more interested in essential oils or soaps. Well, yes, this is what I am doing because I CARE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. It is that important to me so I contacted sweet Stacy. We have been in the chains of debt and it is HORRIBLE. It is hard on your marriage and a terrible way to live.
So, as The Encouraging Home, I want to encourage you to get on the right track. Debt stinks. Period. We shouldn’t be slaves to it, but in this society of “we want the huge house, 2 nice cars, fancy vacations just like Mom and Dad had”, only mom and dad had to work 30 years to get there…so many people have fallen in the trap.
Barry Myers, husband of Stacy at Stacy Makes Cents, wrote a wonderful, educational book that will help you get out of the slavery debt causes. Debt causes a lot of stress, doesn’t it?
This book isn’t just about how to get out of debt. In it, you will learn what a monster debt is and how to handle your own debt. Hopefully, you will then be able to help others get in the same mindset.
I felt like I was sitting across the table from Barry and he was telling me how to get on the road to financial freedom and get out of the chains of debt. He will make you think of things from a different perspective and make all the boring financial things interesting. He will help you see how important being financially free is to your marriage and family.
*Here are some other things you will learn:
- Get out of debt as quickly as possible
- Break the cycle of debt so you don’t go back
- Instill discipline in your finances
- Do a budget that won’t take forever and is easy
- Pay cash for your car(s) and never have a car payment again
- Buy a house without falling into mortgage traps
- Buy the right insurance to protect you from financial ruin
- …and much more!

I am thankful for people like Barry and Stacy and Dave Ramsey, whose program got on us track 2 years ago. Budgeting, cash only, envelope system, gardening, canning, and couponing helped us get on the road to getting out of debt and on the road to financial freedom.
