I’m so glad i don’t have any debt, but I think these are great strategies for those who do. I can only imagine how it can drag you down.
I agree with SuburbanFinance! These are really great strategies for getting the debt number lowered! A debt management plan is really an effective tool if you use it properly and follow it completely.
