Book excerpt: To those of you just starting your debt-free journey, you probably feel dazed and overwhelmed considering the "big picture" of what you are about to tackle. I know that feeling and it's probably more debilitating than you might realize (believe me, there's a reason it took me nearly 2 years to get things together). My best advice for you is to focus on what you can control in the here and now, and don't get too caught up in the fear of the "what ifs." I lost a lot of time because I couldn't focus or wrap my mind around what I had to do. However, I encourage you to just get started. Start today, or at least this week. It's worth it! To those of you who have already started down the path to becoming debt free, but feel you've hit a roadblock - It's time to refocus. The sacrifice can be so hard some days that it becomes easy to question the value of your efforts. That's normal - but remind yourself that you're doing this for a reason and your decisions will no longer be based entirely on money. Hopefully the information and message inside this book is exactly what you've needed to keep going and, with any luck, to do so better than you were able to before. To everyone who reads this book - I hope that you're able to learn at least one thing that will make all the difference for you. Through my experiences of budgeting and getting out of debt, I hope that you're able to more quickly put into practice the principles that took me months and months to fully understand, but ones that have continued to propel me forward all the way to that final loan payment and beyond. What you're about to read in this book was real life and the lessons I learned through the sacrifice of eliminating debt. It is no secret that life never goes the way that way we plan and those who are truly successful at life are those who have mastered their ability to roll with the punches and pick themselves back up. This book is a compilation of my own opinions about life, money management, and the process of becoming debt free. In a nutshell, this is my story of how I survived dream crushing debt.
