5 Ways Out of Debt FAST & How to Stay out
How to Get Out of Debt—Fast and Permanently
What’s the fastest way to get out of debt? Call Yvonne. (No, really.)
Alright, maybe that’s not the only answer, but having the right guidance is the common denominator in almost every debt success story. Because let’s be real—most people don’t get out of debt on their own, just like most people don’t get in shape without a trainer, a wake-up call, or a new mindset shift.
Why Most People Struggle to Get Out of Debt
A lot of people assume debt is just a numbers problem—like if they just made a little more money, or if that one unexpected expense hadn’t happened, they’d be fine. And sure, external factors play a role—job loss, medical bills, a bad break. But let’s be honest: it’s not just about circumstances. If it were, two people with the same income and life situations wouldn’t have wildly different financial outcomes.
The real culprit? Habits.
Debt isn’t just about money—it’s about how we think about money and the routines we’ve built around spending, saving, and avoiding financial stress. It’s the same reason people struggle to lose weight. From the outside, the solution looks too simple—eat better, exercise more, right? But if it were just about knowing what to do, wouldn’t we all be walking around with six-pack abs?
The truth is, debt (like fitness) is a habit problem. And the fastest way to fix it isn’t just “try harder”—it’s reframing the way you approach money altogether.
The 5 Steps to Getting Out of Debt (For Real This Time)
1. Get Honest About the Numbers
The first step to change is awareness. No shame, no guilt—just pull up your statements and add up what you owe. It’s uncomfortable, but so is avoiding it while the interest piles up. (And let’s be honest, you already feel the weight of it—might as well face it head-on.)
2. Identify the Habit Loops Keeping You Stuck
Do you always put groceries on a credit card? Tend to shop when you’re stressed? Avoid checking your bank account? The goal isn’t just to cut expenses—it’s to spot the routines that keep debt in your life and rewire them into better ones.
3. Create a Simple, Aggressive Payoff Plan
There are two dominant debt payoff strategies:
The Debt Snowball Method (pay off the smallest balance first for quick wins)
The Debt Avalanche Method (pay off the highest-interest debt first to save money)
Both work—just pick one and stick to it. The key is momentum.
4. Shift Your Spending Identity
If you’ve always thought of yourself as “bad with money” or “someone who just has debt,” it’s time to shift that narrative. People change when they start acting as if they already are the person they want to be. “I don’t do credit card debt” is more powerful than “I’m trying to pay off debt.”
5. Get Help (Because DIY Isn’t Always the Fastest Way)
The biggest lie about money struggles? That you have to fix them alone.
Just like the best fitness transformations usually happen with a trainer, a coach, or a wake-up call—most people who successfully get out of debt do it with help. Whether that’s a financial coach, a debt payoff accountability group, or refinancing your high-interest loans to something manageable, outside support speeds up the process.
