I find that much of my wasteful spending comes from grabbing that coffee every morning because I always end up picking up a danish, cigs, whatever. By the time I leave the store in the morning I'm down 10 bucks. At lunch I pick up food and drinks again, putting me down another 10. That's 20 bucks right there. At the end of the working month I'm down almost 400 bucks in just drinks and such, wow. Time to prioritized Very well thought out tips.

Lenders have figured out all the subtleties (they've been at it for a couple millennia), so it's very easy to lose track of how much debt you're taking on in relation to your income. The solutions are practical and tested (I volunteered several years ago! haha) so I hope the series helps some people. Hey Deron,

Very true as well. It's easy to build up debt without really realizing it, then comes the "oh crap" moment when it hits you how much you actually have and then comes the struggle to pay it down. Good ideas to stop the bleeding. Thanks Nice article! Very true as well.

The only danger is that expenses have a way of accumulating as time goes on ... we add "things" and expenses to our lives. We rarely subtract them. Working on multiple sources of income is a great plan. As long as you don't let new expenses accumulate, you'll have it paid off before you know it. Hey Gregg,

It'll be about 30k from loans. I have no clue how I'll pay it off, but that's why I want to start a successful business and earn money online blogging. I don't really spend my money on a lot of things. I hardly buy new clothes. The only expense I need to keep my eye on is my food expense - eating out. -Gregg I’ll be in debt when I graduate college.

I imagine the change literally forced you to apply a lot of simplifying, downsizing and replacing old habits. Your experience is great insight. Anthony, haha - yeah I like to be bold with the artwork! This is just stuff that has worked for me and a few of my friends (tried, tested, and true). But it took a long time to get to the point of "doing it", even though I knew what to do and how to do it all along ... I think you'll like Part 3 of the series. It's about the stresses, understanding debt and wealth. And doing it. Hey Robin,
