A few weeks ago, I was a live guest on Talk Credit Radio, hosted by Gerri Detweiler, on radio station WSRQ. We talked about my sordid financial history pre-Consumerism Commentary, in which I confess to owning a car without knowing how to maintain it or how to handle my traffic tickets. We also talk about the Debt Snowball method for getting out of debt and the advantages of the Debt Avalanche. In the show, Gerri and I also discuss what happens when you rely on financial automation.
