6 Steps to Get Out of Debt and Stay Out of Debt

In this video, our friend Mark Kohler explains how to get out of debt and stay out of debt in six steps.

The first step is to make minimum payments on your credit cards. Don’t try to get rid of credit card debt as quickly as you can and spend too much too quickly. Instead, make minimum payments and use your savings to create an emergency fund, which should be at least $500 USD but can be as much as you can afford.

That way, if you have an emergency, you’ll be using your savings rather than putting more debt onto your credit cards.
