Slaying the Debt Dragon Update: Keep the Happy in Your Holidays

Tips like these helped us pay off $127K in debt. You can read our story in Slaying the Debt Dragon: How One Family Conquered Their Money Monster and Found an Inspired Happily Ever After.

September 18, 2014 By Cherie Lowe

Releasing November 1, this book will help keep your head, heart, and wallet happy this Christmas season!

In the coming months, I’m hoping to pause each Thursday to give you a Slaying the Debt Dragon update and loop you in on the process so you get a behind the scenes look at what I’ve been up to and learn ways you can help promote the book. You are my BEST publicist. You know our story. You walked with us. You’ve heard me speak. You’ve heard me whine. You’ve watched the video of us paying the final debt. You have traveled the road. You know who needs to hear a message of hope when it comes to finances.

Hi friends! It’s been a little quiet here on Queen of Free because I’m back in editing mode again. While Slaying the Debt Dragon: How One Family Conquered Their Money Monster and Found an Inspired Happily Ever After is pretty much finished, I have a second project on the burner. To help kickstart your savings this fall, I’ll be releasing Keep the Happy in Your Holidays: 21 Ways to Save Time, Money, and Your Sanity This Christmas Season. This book (which is *almost* finely polished) will be available November 1. It includes some of my best strategies for celebrating a debt free Christmas. There are free printables, practical pieces of advice, and even some inspiration to help you remember what Christmas is really all about.

Plus, hold on to your hats, once it’s released, you can get it FREE when you preorder Slaying the Debt Dragon (you know I LOVE free!). Even better, the first chapter of the book will be in the back  of the eBook so you’ll be able to get a little taste of what’s to come in January! YIPPEEE.

Here’s a bit of a description of the Keep the Happy in Your Holidays:

“The most wonderful time of the year”?

We dream of Christmas as a season of family, celebration, and worship
—but too often we get burdened with stress, busyness, yelling, and overspending.

Cherie Lowe, author of Slaying the Debt Dragon, knows what it’s like to feel frazzled as the holidays draw near. A family of four trying to defeat their debt monster, the Lowe family had to get creative and intentional about keeping the happy in their holidays. These 21 tips—on budgeting, the items you should buy on Black Friday, and much more—will help you save money, time, and your sanity this holiday season. You’ll be able to enjoy the holidays without worry and stress—and celebrate a Christmas filled with wonder and joy. (Includes FREE bonus printables!).
