That's how Holly Porter Johnson and her husband were able to pay off $50,000 worth of debt, leave jobs that were physically and emotionally exhausting, and create a new life: self-employed, debt-free and able to spend more time with their children. Not everyone wants to be his own boss, but how many people would give anything just to be able to control their cash? Whether you're living paycheck to paycheck or merely wondering where your money goes each month, "Zero Down Your Debt" provides a step-by-step plan on taking back the reins. What indebted people DON'T need is an ivory-tower economist wagging a judgmental finger. What they DO need is someone like Johnson, who writes from a place of understanding. She uses their own experience (working brutally long hours, overspending, running up debts, not saving for emergencies) to illustrate how she and her husband changed their money habits and, ultimately, their lives. If you've always been afraid of budgets, Zero Down Your Debt will give you a new way of looking at money management. As the author says, "A zero-sum budget is the key to getting what you want out of life." Quite literally, the book gives consumers the tools to change their lives." - Donna Freedman, personal finance writer and author of "Your Playbook For Tough Times: Living Large On Small Change, For The Short Term Or The Long Haul" "Zero Down Your Debt is real world and something you can implement right away! Holly and Greg don't teach from theory, but rather from their own experiences with managing money, life, and everything in between. Instead of wondering where you will end up, this book will show you how to get there." - Chris Peach, Founder of the Award Winning Blog, Money Peach "Holly and Greg have written a manifesto for debt abolishers everywhere.
