How I Paid Off $25,000 of Debt in One Year | Career Contessa

On November 30th, I sent in my final credit card payment and watched my balance flip to zero.

After five years and accruing over $25,000 in credit card debt, I was done. I am debt-free.

I am no longer in debt, and you don’t have to be either (and if you aren’t, don’t let yourself get there!). Over the past ten months, even despite the pandemic, I was able to make my debt payoff happen—no scams, no gimmicks, no get-rich-quick schemes.

Just some hard work, discipline, and tough lesson-learning. Here’s how I did it, and how you can too. Let’s get to work!
