Getting out of debt is something you can accomplish if you make a plan and work it. The key is getting a grip on where you are currently then educating yourself on how to take steps to move forward.   

This is my story of how I got out of $70K of debt, improved my credit score, and now hold no balances on anything but a car note- which is for a reason!   

I am not a financial guru/advisor/etc and simply am sharing how I was able to do it merely to help inspire others that they can too. Why? Because believing you can get out of debt is really the first step in doing so and this show is all about empowerment.
