DALLAS - (Business Wire) Why is the habit of saving so crucial to living debt-free? “You can’t survive without it – especially if you have children,” say Bill and Minnie M. of Aberdeen, MD, whose success in Credit Solutions’ award-winning debt settlement program is documented in a new video testimonial on www.creditsolutions.com.
“The cost of raising children today is astronomical,” Bill says. “People that live paycheck-to-paycheck can never survive. You must, must, must save…whatever you can afford.”
For instance, the couple consistently saves all their spare change and $1 bills, depositing their savings in the bank every few months.
“It’s not a lot of money, but if I needed 100 bucks, I’ve got 100 bucks,” Bill said. “Somewhere along the line, you’ll appreciate it.”
Since completing Credit Solutions’ program in 10 months last October, the couple has not charged a penny. They no longer use credit cards, and their 48% settlement offer percentage rate reduced the $35,000 they owed to $17,938.54.
“It’s really wonderful,” Bill said. “We’re going to enjoy retirement.”
“We’re going to take some short trips…visit family…and just enjoy each other,” Minnie added. “That’s what we can do now because we don’t have any debts. [Bill] is mine now, not Uncle Sam’s!”
When asked why they chose Credit Solutions, Bill and Minnie said they ruled out consolidation and bankruptcy because they wanted to make good on paying their bills, accumulate as little interest as possible and get completely out of debt. Plus, they said, “Credit Solutions’ customer service is very good.”
"Since 2003, we’ve helped over 250,000 Americans achieve debt freedom by providing financial education and leveraging our buying power with creditors to negotiate the very best settlement offers possible on clients' accounts," said Credit Solutions CEO Doug Van Arsdale.
