    Author

    Jeanie Henderson

    As a writer, I'm credited with regional and national magazine and newspaper articles. I've also been a copyeditor for IBM, Duracell Design Center, American Express, one lawyer and several novelists. My current work includes an almost daily blog about life, relationships and the natural world, as well as my book Debt, Grace and Happiness: How to Become Debt Free on Your Terms. My other resume includes seven years of work at 35,000 feet, followed by six years as a psychotherapist at sea level and currently as a writer somewhere inbetween. My former job took place on the twelfth floor of the BellSouth building overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It was there I edited legal documents, marketing collateral and filled the candy jar.

      Introduction

      Where is it written that getting out of debt should be difficult? Time consuming, maybe, a little at first. But not difficult.

      In Debt, Grace and Happiness, How to Become Debt Free on Your Terms, you’ll learn how to get out of debt without struggle or feel you have to compromise. You’ll learn how to negotiate with creditors like a corporate mogul and how to change your mindset, not only about finances, but everything else in your life. The creditors may not become your new best friend, but they will gladly work with you in ways you could never have imagined.

      No matter how much debt you may have accumulated, no matter where your debt is on the ledger — you may have to file bankruptcy tomorrow or your court case is looming or you have an appointment this afternoon with a credit counselor who will be happy to take more or your money — you can begin today to take over the reins and become your own boss in charge of paying off the debt on your terms. Think John Wayne on the horse.

      And here’s some more great news. You can ask for things you never thought to ask creditors before. I never wanted the creditors to reduce the interest. I wanted them to eliminate the interest. And they did. I didn’t want to pay the IRS $25 for the rest of
