When we were paying off debt, I told everyone under the sun. It helped, because so many people were supportive. Find your people and let them cheer you on as you get out of debt!

Celebrating small wins matters. The more you celebrate even the tiniest bit of progress toward becoming debt free, the more you're likely to continue making even more progress.

Tracking your spending is not complicated, but it’s enormously valuable! When you buy something, write down what it was and how much it cost. Then take a minute to think about if whatever you bought was worth the time and energy it took to get that money. Adjust future purchases accordingly.

Building an emergency fund? Don’t worry about interest rates, earning money with it, and or investing it. (Definitely don’t invest it.) The goal isn’t to make money with an emergency fund; it’s to prevent debt and provide safety.
