Debt Free Adventure
December 1, 2009
Debt is a nasty creature and if you’re fighting it, you should check out the site Debt Free Adventure, authored by Matt Jabs. As you can tell from his about page and twitter profile, Matt takes a biblical view on the principles of debt reduction and financial stewardship.
The Bible doesn’t hold debt in very high regard and neither does Matt, although he’s found himself in credit card debt two different times in his life (once during the college years, and then later when married and his spouse lost her job). Matt shares how they are overcoming the burden of debt on his blog and also shares his personal finance stories as a contributor over at FiveCentNickel.
About Matt
Matt will celebrate an anniversary pretty soon, his site will be one year old in January! He’s come a long way in that time as he explains on his “about” page:
In less than a year I have: lost 40 pounds, defined my passions and long term goals, slashed my expenses, paid off over $4,000 in debt, saved over $2,000, created a lucrative side business – which you are reading at this very moment, and renewed my faith and commitment to being a good steward of what I have been given.
