The Financial Fast 

Are you tired of being in debt? Can’t figure out where to find money to save? Or maybe you’re handling your money well but you want to be even better. Starting Jan. 13, we'll be embarking on a 21-day financial fast to examine and improve your financial life. Every day you'll find new inspiration and answers here, including stories from all the other people fasting right along with you. Share your own stories and tips by tweeting #FinancialFast.

I encourage you during the fast to tweet or post your progress on Twitter or Facebook or other social media outlets. Be sure to use the hashtag #FinancialFast. Encourage your friends and family to do the fast with you. I want this to feel like a community. We can all be each others accountability partners.

What’s the #FinancialFast? Listen to the explanation from @TJMShow Money Monday segment HERE.

Look for Michelle's New Book in Essence Magazine

For the Jan. 2014 edition, ESSENCE Magazine profiled three women who went through the 21-day financial fast. For three weeks they curtained any unnecessary shopping and put away their credit cards.  The women were given a copy of “The 21 Day Financial Fast: Your Path to Financial Peace and Freedom.” The stories of their financial transformation are truly inspirational.
