How I did it: * Save up as much money as I could in a savings account with good interest* Paid the minimum amount on my credit cards until I had saved enough in my savings account.* Worked overtime.* Requested money instead of gifts for birthdays.* Limited unneeded spending.* Spent less on food.* Got rid of unneccessary possessions on Ebay (this is a BIG way to make money and learn how much money you really do waste - I can't stress this enough!) Read how I did it…
My aim is to get my debt to $5K by the end of the year. Starting Jan I am then going to powersave for 6 months.
So I currently have 6K worth of debt. December is never a good time to save for me – I have car bills and Christmas presents to buy.
I can put $750 onto my BW card (4K debt) for Nov then that will be it until Jan next year. Then I plan to put aside my debt and powersave again.
