Adelaide-based anti-credit card campaigner Adam Goulding (a.k.a Mr Home Budget) will be urging Australians to get rid of their cards for good when he hosts a public funeral service on the 8th of October 2010.
Attendees at the funeral service will line up to shred their credit cards into a coffin, which will later be carried by pallbearers down the aisle so the contained plastic remains can be laid to rest in peace.
When: 8th October 2010
Time: 8:30am
Where: South Road Funeral Home
Address: 151 South Road, Ridleyton South Australia 5008
“This service is aimed at spurring ordinary Australians, many of whom are deep in debt, to get rid of their credit cards so they can finally take active steps to pay off their debts,” says Adam, who achieved national prominence last year with the launch of his book “How to cut your debt to zero in five simple steps, the keep it simple stupid home budget”.
“We are inviting people to turn over a new leaf in their life and get rid of their credit cards for good. I’m expecting a large turn-out of people who are already primed to get rid of their cards, but anyone is welcome to attend the service and cut up their cards as well.”
Adam says that credit cards are a unnecessary evil, and if more people were educated about them he believes they would become socially unacceptable over time.
For people who are unable to attent the funeral we will be publishing the video on this website shortly after the event.
