Below is an encouraging video of someone who has had success eliminating their debt. I’ve hit the highlights for their success, but you really should hear her talk about it. She is real and honest.
It’s important to notice how she says that it was what it took to change their behaviors, from spending out of control to putting the necessary amount toward their debt, that made the difference for them.
They got real with their spending by doing a spending analysis.
They each had to take responsibility for their own spending.
They made a budget together and found they had money left over.
They cut their budget and freed up more money.
They stuck with their budget by checking their budget faithfully to ensure they were on track.
They brought in more earnings by each one picking up extra income. He got a second job, she worked from home.
They practiced being content.
They kept focused on their end goal.
They tracked their progress.
It’s not about numbers, it’s about behaviors. It’s not easy, but it is worth it.

Do you have debt you want to pay off? I have an idea for a project to start a debt elimination support posting/group, but I need to know if there is interest. Please let me know in the comments if you would like to participate in something that could help you get out of debt. It would be structured in such a way that you would not be putting up your personal details, but using percentages instead. I want people to be able to track their progress publicly and set goals and have accountability, but not be exposed in a personal way. Comment if you are interested!
