Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Holidays from all of us at The Crushing Debt Podcast.  We hope you had a great holiday season.

This is our last episode of 2024, but we'll be back next week with all new episodes and some great content for 2025.

The holiday season brings a lot of things - family, presents, food, songs, and especially movies!

There are some great holiday movies - Home Alone, Christmas Vacation, Elf, Scrooged, The Grinch, It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story, Jingle All the Way, Polar Express, The Santa Clause, and others.

What money lessons do we get from these movies?  That is the topic of today's episode.  Plus, we answer the age-old question, is Die Hard a Christmas Movie (and what money lesson does it teach us)?

Let us know some of your favorite movies and the money lessons learned from those movies. If you enjoy this episode and, if so, please share it with your friends!

What is it like to rebuild after a foreclosure, after a bankruptcy?

What is the real cause of foreclosure, bankruptcy and financial distress?

While we have talked about these topics before, this week's guest overcame all of it to form a non-profit that helps people who find themselves in this situation.

This week, Shawn & George interview Michael Russell, with Hope 4 Harship, and also the President/Owner of Century 21 Signature Properties, one of the original CENTURY 21 franchises in the country. Hear Micheal's story about divorce, foreclosures, short sales, bankruptcies, and how he overcame that financial distress.

We talk about how banks really don't want to foreclose, and how they want to offer assistance (which may or may not be home retention).  We talk about partial claim mortgages, loan modifications, forbearances and the pros and cons of each.  We talk about judicial and non-judicial foreclosures and the differences between them. And yes, we talk a little about bankruptcy.

Welcome to December! We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday and you were able to reflect on what you are thankful for this year.

Now we focus on the holidays, which means buying gifts (which is amplified in Shawn's household with the addition of multiple family birthdays in the month of December).

How do you control your holiday spending? 

Do you control your holiday spending?

In this week's episode Shawn & George talk about different ideas to keep holiday spending under control, including ideas like:

  • Shopping on Black Friday, Cyber Monday, etc.
  • Setting a Budget
  • Taking advantage of holiday deals
  • Shopping early (before Thanksgiving)
  • Using all those reward points you've been saving throughout the year
  • Avoid shipping (order online and pick up in the store)
  • Buy wrapping paper and other supplies at discount stores
  • DIY Presents
  • Set expectations on kids' gifts
  • Set spending limits
