6 Life-Changing Habits that Will Get You Out of Debt

Just as with most big changes, getting out of debt is a lifestyle adjustment.  It’s not something you do in one big moment, it’s not something that’s done once and then over.  Living debt-free is a lifestyle and a mindset… a really, really great lifestyle and mindset.

So getting out of debt isn’t just about all the things you can do to save or make money (though those help).
