A couple of weeks ago, I chose five people through Credit.com to participate in the Debt Diet. Since then, I’ve been checking in with them once a week to monitor their progress and offer additional tips. And though it’s only been a few weeks, I think they’re making great progress so far. One participant finally sat down with her husband to make sure they were on the same financial page. Another refinanced her car — from 9.5% to about 4%! To read more about their progress, check out my most recent article here. And to read the participants’ personal accounts (they’re blogging, too!), check out this link. The Debt Diet Challenge is bound to be an interesting journey, so follow along!
This morning on Today I spoke with Ann Curry and Consumer Reports’ Mandy Walker about five ways you can stick to a debt diet. Check out the video clip below to learn more.
The Debt Diet is a comprehensive program that will help you find $10 a day – in your current budget – to put toward paying down your debt. We’ll walk you through activities that will show you how to lower your interest rates and cut your monthly expenses. Once you have your extra money in hand, the Pay it Down! app, powered by DebtGoal, will show you how to put it toward your debt to dig out, once and for all. With the help of this app, you’ll pay down your debt faster and save money on interest.
