subject: Reducing Credit Card Debt Thanks To Red Pao [print this page] My name is Ann-Marie, and I have a great deal of positive things to say about Red Pao. When I first went out on my own, right after my divorce from my husband, I had to depend quite heavily on credit cards to just get by. It took me a while to find a job and a new place to live, and for quite a while, I just got by. When I finally was able to get settled into a steady job, things started getting better, but I certainly still had that credit card debt to manage, and believe me, it was a good deal of debt.
Last Christmas, I decided that, instead of gifts, I would ask my family for money that I could use to reduce credit card debt more quickly. Since my grandparents as well as a few aunts and uncles all live out of state, I decided to set up a Red Pao account. I had heard of the service before, but I did not know exactly how it worked, so I went to the site and I started setting up my account.
I was amazed at how easy the whole process was. All I had to do was enter all of my contact information. Then, the form asked me to include a financial goal and a personal message if I wanted. After filling out the form, I got a username and password, and then all I had to do was email that information to my family and a few friends. I told them that I was working on paying down that debt, in lieu of gifts; they could contribute to my Red Pao account.
For my out of town family, this made things so easy. They did not have to worry about buying and shipping gifts. Even my in-town family loved the simplicity of the whole idea, and several of them commended me for working so hard to manage my finances correctly.
The Christmas gifts I received through Red Pao certainly went a long way toward that credit card debt, and this will help me get just a little closer to financial security. In the future, I intend to use Red Pao again, and I recommend it to all my friends. I cannot imagine asking for a regular gift anymore now that I know how to use the Red Pao accounts! For anyone who needs help with their finances, this is a great way to get that help in the form of a special gift for any occasion.
