This time of the year features some colorful characters: Santa Claus, various elves, abundant snow-people, and the Debt Monster. You may not know that last one--by name, anyway.
But Debt Monster is the term used by Mark Brauer, a financial planner and the director of the Prosperity Center at Goodwill in Eugene.
He gives talks about avoiding the clutches of the Debt Monster, which may be especially helpful in this season of high consumer spending. He joins us prior to a chat at the Eugene Library.
