I like that you are upfront that although it IS simple, it's not easy but so worth it! Thanks for the inspiration.

That's why I love the cutting up the credit cards step. For me personally getting out of debt was definately part education but really it was more about a makeover of my heart and learning to let go of the attachment to material goods. It seems that no amount of education, or training will solve a self-discipline problem as much as a maturity of one's Faith in that our needs will be met. So tough to do. Thank you for sharing this message. Learning to "Take the Stairs" financially is an important part of life and there aren't enough positive influences out there showing people how to do it.

It was very helpful to have other people cheering you on as you made progress towards the infamous "happy dance" when you had zero credit card debt.

I recognized but got overwhelmed by the committment, overwhelmed with the amount I had to pay back, etc. On paper it looked like it would take me 6 yrs to get out of debt. I committed to stop using the ccard 1st, then recognized that my behavior/way of thinking was more the issue. After I took the first step (#4), I was able to cut that time in 1/2. I disagree w/Craig.

Debt can be overwhelming, but taking it one step at a time is the way to go. I especially enjoyed tip 5. Debt can be overwhelming, but taking it one step at a time is the way to go.

I think you need to realize and acknowledge before you can plan and act. Once you realize you need to take action, then you can commit and get it done. I would switch 1 and 2.
