It’s what we all want isn’t it?  We all want to live debt free - to remove the burdon of the debt repayment each month.  But how can we achive it?  Let’s be realistic - it’s difficult for the average person to go through life without accumulating some debt.  The key is not to let it get out of control.

Like most people, I owe money.  I strive to minimize the amount owed and I try to borrow in the most efficient way possible, but I still need that extra finance from time to time to provide for my family.

That’s what Get Out Of Debt (is it a coincidence that the initials spell GOOD?) is all about.  As I struggle to keep my borrowings under control, I will post what I hope are useful articles to help other people deal with debt.  Hopefully together we can all reach our goal to be debt free before we’re to old to enjoy it.

Be warned though.  As this is a personal blog, I am likely to wander a little (okay - maybe a lot).  In fact who knows what sorts of strange ideas may enter my head in the coming weeks and months?  Certainly not me.  But that wont stop me from from bashing away at the keyboard in an effort to free my thoughts and let them roam cybespace untethered.

One of the reasons I chose a blog format to do this is that it makes it easier for others to contribute and share their own ideas.  So don’t be shy - let me know what you think.  I welcome any new ideas and criticism (hopefully constructive).  I don’t mind if you just leave a comment and tell me to pull my head in.

With all of that now said and this intro post out of the way, I’ll now need to think of some real stuff to write about.  Let’s get started on our "journey" (don’t you hate management speak?) - let’s get out of debt!
