Put Your Debt on a Diet 
A Step-by-Step Guide to Financial Fitness

You could be just two paycheques away from bankruptcy!

More people are up to their eyeballs in debt than ever before.
Canadian families currently owe over $450 billion. That’s
almost $15, 000 in debt for every man, woman, and child in the
country. It’s mortgages, vehicles, credit cards, student loans, and
more … and it’s dangerous. The number of consumer
bankruptcies has been rising dramatically every year, and Canadians
from all walks of life are in dire financial straits — from
the working poor to the highest-income professionals. No one is
immune from crushing debt, and it will just get worse if we don’t
take control now.

Effectively managing your debt is one of the first–and
most important — steps toward your financial health. Put
Your Debt on a Diet takes the mystery and fear out of the
process of overcoming even the most severe financial problems.
