Kill It, Crush It, Rip It, Tear It – Shred Your Credit Card and Links

Tweet

Remember a little while back I told you about Perkstreet Financial and Lending Club teaming up to jump start you financial freedom with a Shred Your Credit Card contest?  Well check this out – The contest is not limited to shredding your credit card!

The folks putting the contest together want to see stories from everyone that is trying to release themselves from the shackles of debt.

Get a credit card application in the mail?  Make a video of you shredding it!

Have an awesome story about your journey to dig out of debt?  Tell them about it!

Take you story, your situation, whatever it is – make it original and create a video.

You story could be just what it takes to help another person in their journey to be debt free.  And on top of that you can win money!

I’d really love to see a reader of Free From Broke get in on the action and take home a prize.  Make sure you select freefrombroke.com where it asks “Where did you hear about this contest?” on the contest page.

Someone is going to win the contest.  Is it going to be you?!?  Like the saying goes: “you gotta be in it to win it!”

Head on over to Shred Your Credit Card and enter your video.

Here are some awesome sites that are also helping promote the contest:
