It's About Time....

The last couple of years I have been involved with the Illinois State Treasurers program called Smart Women Smart Money. I just received an email with some really interesting information. It seems that Illinois' Treasurers office is challenging us to reduce our debt by $25.00 or a month.

You can sign up for the challenge and receive emails with tips and encouragement to save money and pay off your debt. The Biggest Debt Loser will be honored at next years Smart Women Smart Money conference in Chicago. They suggest that you work with a buddy to help you stick to your debt diet similar to having a weight loss buddy or and exercise buddy.

This years theme for the conference is "From Surviving to Thriving". For more information, check the Treasurer’s website – http://www.treasurer.il.gov/ – and download your Debt Reduction Challenge starter kit.

I know that other states have similar programs. You can do a search in Google for Smart Money Smart Women to find programs in your own state.
