Debt Success - The Truth
If the path you have been taking has not successfully led you to the goals you wish to achieve, then it’s time to choose a different path.

If continuing to make the minimum monthly payments over and over has failed to get you any closer to getting out of debt, then it’s time for a change! Simply put, continuing to make minimum monthly payments can take years to pay back, and cost thousands of dollars in interest alone. If you are only making minimum payments on $20,000 in credit card debt, at a 19.0% interest rate, it will take you over 50 years to paid it off and you will pay over $50,000 in interest? ~CNN Money
