If you have debt, you’re not alone. Americans are spending more money than they make and piling on debt…mortgages, loans, and credit card debt. The Census Bureau shows the median household income at just under $60,000 a year, while the Federal Reserve says the average household has over $137,000 in debt.

When I was a college student, I received my first credit card offer. I didn’t know it at the time, but that one credit card would lead me down a financially destructive path and eventually to $12,000 in credit card debt. It took me three years to dig myself out of the financial hole I got myself into- and I learned many lessons along the way. I now want to use what I’ve learned to help others on their debt pay-off journeys.

How I Paid Off $12,000 in Credit Card Debt Using the Snowball Method

I believe anyone can get out of debt, no matter how impossible it may seem. I know what that hopelessness feels like, but I also know what it feels like to finally be debt-free after years of drowning in credit card debt. I hope my story inspires you and gives you the confidence you need to start paying off debt so you can have a more secure financial future.

If someone had told me seven years ago that I’d be debt free by now, my first reaction would be to laugh in his or her face and then beg them to let me in on their secrets and tell me how this would ever be a humanly possible feat. I had just bought a sweet brand new vehicle (hello, car payments) and had moved to Vancouver, the most expensive city in Canada.

How To Love Yourself and Leave Debt Behind For Good

I bought the SUV before moving and believed I needed it, as I wasn’t comfortable driving hunk-of-junk cars anymore that would break down at the drop of a hat, in minus 40-degree Celsius weather, on the side of an ice-encrusted skating rink of a highway.

According to a survey conducted by CreditCard.Com, more than a third of Americans incurred debt over the holiday season. I have always said that you will have more money if you are earning interest on it instead of paying interest to someone else, but I had to learn that lesson the hard way because I left the military after 12 years of service with over $32,000 in credit card debt.

How to get Debt Free in 2016

The sad part is that I did not accumulate that debt because of a medical emergency or because I lost a job. I was in the military and my housing was paid for, my food was paid for, the Army provided me with a uniform, and my dental and medical were free.
