The Next Movement: Helping our Readers Pay off $10,000,000 of Deft in 90 Days. | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

What an awesome project! I can't wait to read about it.

I'm loving the attention this thread is getting and it's not even October yet.   #Debtmovement is going to be HUGE.

Great idea! I definitely have been toying around with the idea of surveying my readers to understand them better so thanks for the link. Also, my husband and I paid off $25,000 in non-mortgage debt in a little over a year last (ended Sept.2010) so we have experience.

I can potentially get some exposure for your project/community through front page on the chronicle (usually stuff I write goes there on Monday and wednesdays) and if I write something good enough, it can be syndicated on business insider (editors pick what they want from my site.) Anyway, as it firms up I would be happy to try.

Thank so much Amanda! 

And your story about paying off debt are definitely ones that I want to feature in this debt movement.  I'm thinking of creating a template interview for all bloggers/interested parties that had debt and were able to pay it off.  To demonstrate to other that it can be done.  

Loving this….

very cool idea. I look forward to tracking the progress.

Hi Jeff, I heard about this from Jason at Work Save Live. We are in the middle of a huge debt payoff, and just finished paying off over $30K in credit card debt. I work in health care, so could also help people who don't understand medical bills or insurance issues.

Done!  If you can email me to remind me.  I'm starting to get scattered on all who's involved.   Too much to plan!  Haha….

 

Also, if you want to be feature on the Debt Movement site when it goes live, please fill out this Debt Movement Spotlight Survey.  This goes for anyone that has a compelling debt story. 

I just submitted our story. What a great idea! 

Hi, Jeff,

I'm a little late joining the party, but I love that your idea has the potential to influence so many people's lives for the better. I'm totally in! I could perhaps share some practical ways to stop spending money and use the saved cash to more quickly pay down debt. Happy Simple Living sponsors a 31-day break from nonessential spending each January called the January Money Diet, and I'd be happy to write about the Debt Movement during the month and support the group's activities.

Eliza,

That sounds great! Would your prefer to post something live before your January Money Diet or during?  I'm definitely help promote your money diet.   The first week of January is already booked on the blog.  Maybe right before the New Year?
