As millions of patrons struggle daily to manage their private debt, Credit a leading customer education and finance resource web site, has joined with hottest writer and money expert Jean Chatzky to start on the Debt Diet Challenge. Chatzky created the Debt Dieting plan with a bunch of behaviour scientists to take on the issue of debt by taking a look at how folks make healthy calls in their lives (read a Credit article about the Debt Diet to learn more here). She is opening up the programme to 5 Credit readers who are themselves seriously indebted.
Each participator will blog about their progress and the efficacy of the program in general. “For many folks, personal debt seems like the roach motel – once you are in you can't get out,” says Adam Levin, Chairperson of Credit “When it comes to coping with debt, like marriage advice, everyone — including our mummies — thinks they are an expert. Jean Chatzky is the real deal. She has constructed a solid record as a consumer educator, advisor and advocate. She has developed a plan to help shoppers truthfully confront and cleverly cope with their credit problems. We are happy that she has selected to work with members of the Credit community.”. Chatzky will be writing about the program for Credit as participators go through it, and will definitely be working one to one with those collaborating in the challenge.
“We all know what we want to do to get out of debt — spend less, save more — just like we know that we need to eat less and exercise more to lose weight. The difficulty is getting ourselves to both start and stick with it,” says Chatzky.
“The techniques we’ve amalgamated into The Debt Diet have managed to help hundreds of folks do both. I'm anticipating training some Credit readers through the process.”.
