If you’re serious about getting out of debt, you need to make it the primary focus of your financial plan. It’s not something you can take lightly if you want to achieve your goal.

Do yourself a favor, put your credit cards in a drawer at home and leave them there. Use your debit card for purchases instead. If you must, carry only one credit card with you and use it only for unexpected events that cannot be avoided. You can also cut a piece of paper and write yourself a note. Tape it to your credit card. The note should ask: are you buying something you don’t absolutely need, again?!
