For a little over a year now we’ve been doing Twitter Tuesday Profiles here on Out of Debt Christian. Every week we introduce you to a Twitter-user that uses their 140 characters to deliver deals, share their expertise and talk money. So this week we’re taking a look back at all of the people who opened up and answered questions about life and money. Thank you everyone on this list for being part of a Twitter Tuesday Profile!
