It's been a year since I started this debt free journey when I put my first paycheck into my credit card payments and private loan. It's been a journey. Hard, gruesome level of effort, but it will be worth it. Paying off debt is extremely hard because you have to rewire your financial behavior and bad money habits that you might have been doing for decades. Also, credit card companies want you to stay in debt with them, so they make money off you. In this episode, I discuss what I did the first year in paying off debt, how much debt I paid off, and the 15 financial books I read that helped me build a solid, plan on paying off debt.
