Debtfree June – Editor’s Note

Editors Note

Winter is here in a big way. Brrrr!! It is sad when we wake up early and go to work in the cold and dark only to return home later in the cold and dark again. It is hard to stay active and fight the urge to curl up in a bundle just trying to stay warm. The cold weather also naturally makes us want to eat more comfort food, in healthy sized portions. When you add being less active and eating more food you get a slowly growing waist line and everyone knows that while winter weight is easy to put on, it is a killer to get rid of come summer. It is much like debt. It sneaks up on you slowly over time and then just when you feel comfortable you stare at the scale (or your statements) and freak out. Then you realise it is time for a diet. Ever notice how everyone keeps offering you chocolate the moment you say “diet”. Mmmm, sorry my mouth was full of chocolate since I said “diet” out loud. Mmmm, some more chocolate. Thanks. Fortunately, if you are thinking about or already under debt review then you know that the process protects you from more chocolate (or credit in this case). So it is possible to make it through the tough times and keep losing debt weight. If you are contemplating debt review , this issue we look at the whole process step by step and consider how it works.

June has been a fun month for the Debtfree team and industry at large, as we got involved with this year’s Debt Review Awards. We have a look at all the goings on as the top Debt Counsellors, Credit Providers and PDAs were announced at the Debt Review Awards gala.

We hope you enjoy the issue and get a better understanding of the debt review process, catch up on all the news and avoid any winter debt weight. Keep going, though it is tough right now, summer will eventually happen just as you will eventually, with persistence, be basking in the warmth of being debt free.

This article is from the June Debtfree DIGI magazine which is out this weekend. Subscribers get the chance to read the magazine first.

We hope you enjoy this issue
