If you’re reading this post, I can only assume that you are in debt and I can completely relate. Although I am completely financially free today, there was a time in my life where I was in $30,000 debt.
You feel like such a failure looking at that large amount. It feels like it happened overnight and no matter how hard you try, you just can’t shake the monkey on your back. You can’t take a vacation, you can’t give like you want to. Sometimes, when you are alone at night, thinking about your situation, you feel as though you have no options. You’ll never change anything. You’ve lost all hope of ever being financially free, free from the burden and responsibilities of debt.
You’re not alone!
There are so many others out there who are in debt as well. Our society pushes debt on us at every turn. They study how to get people to buy and they use your own weaknesses against you. You never even have a chance.
The truth is that you didn’t get into debt overnight. It took months, even years, and it will take a while to get out of debt as well. Here are 10 of the best articles I could find on how to become financially free and live a debt free life. I can relate to most of the things stated within the posts personally because I’ve been there.
If you get nothing else out of all these get out of debt tips, it should be this…
Do NOT give up hope.
Do NOT let them win.
You are stronger than you realize.
As a single mom, if I can do it, so can you!
Will it take time? Absolutely.
And you will fall off the horse time and time again. Just keep going.
Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep going, because really, the only way you truly fail IS TO STOP TRYING!
