12 Days of Debtmas-90 seconds Humor-(download gooddebt.com)

This is a 90 second video (audio available separately at gooddebt.com/download) that is humorous and sadly true. This is part of the material created for Good Debt, Bad Debt. It provides an entertaining and informative segment, that serves as a good conversation starter. Please listen and pass this on. In 2005 we had 90 radio stations use the 12 Days of Debtmas message as a PSA. The National Retail Federation reports that more than 140 MILLION bargain-hunting shoppers (one-half with credit cards) hit the stores on "Black Friday" last (2006) Thanksgiving weekend... and now the question is will consumers hold back? Are gas prices too high? Is this really what Christmas is all about? What a zoo! Waking up on 5AM (on a day off no less)... Parking lot bumper-car madness... mob scenes at the cash registers... or worse, "out of stock" signs on your item—fist fights at the local Wal-Mart! Last year consumers spent 108 billion dollars in only a 29 day shopping frenzy. At $43,000 a second—it doesn't rival congress but it is pretty sad or impressive depending on your part in the economy. For the merchants of debt it is empowering—for the overspent and overextended consumer it is enslaving.
