Keeping your focus on getting out of debt can be a challenge for some people. It’s so incredibly easy to just not think about it at all and make a bad financial choice.
One of the most effective tools you can use to help stay on track is a visual debt reminder. Just some sort of visual item that reminds you of your commitment. You could…make a giant progress bar that starts with the amount of debt you have and ends with zero. Each time you pay down a little bit, fill in a little more of that progress bar. Or a bunch of squares that are each like $50 or $100 bucks and cross one off or will one in when you pay that amount off. If you have a specific goal in mind that you’re saving for…you could even include a picture! Keep this reminder in a place where you’ll see it often, and keep filling it in regularly. It keeps your eyes on the prize and leads you straight to debt freedom.
