Debt Shepherd teaches financial wellness and promotes financial literacy.

The company was founded by Greg Whitaker in 2006. Frustrated with debt and the seeming inability to save money, he reached out for help and found it.

Inspired by John Cummuta, Nightingale-Conant's bestselling personal debt-elimination author, Greg knew he had to help others with their finances. Since 2006 he's done just that. Personal coaching by phone, public speaking, and social media are how he carries the message to the world.

With the use of Facebook, YouTube, Linkedin, and his own website debtshepherd he let's the world know, among other things, these simple truths: 1) Most people can be totally debt free in about 5 to 7 years on average, with the money they already make. 2) How money is created and really works has largely been kept a secret since the creation of The Federal Reserve Bank in 1913. 3) The inability to delay gratification is the biggest weakness of most Americans. 4) Access to cheap credit is the only reason the middle class exists in The United States. Without it there would be no middle class, only rich and poor.
