Here's 20 plus ways to get of your debt forever. Probably the most important one is changing your attitude and making debt something that you've decided to rip into with ferocity and persistence. [Dumb Little Man]

Let me add a helpful hint that can up that monthly debt payment: sell your stuff. I've been weak in the past and indulged in expensive gadgets, extra clothes, and unnecessary things. Gadgets, if they're not too outdated, can still fetch a hefty percentage of your original investment on eBay. Sell that PSP and DS if you only ever play it once a month. DVDs and CDs retain a large portion of their value, and you probably never watch half of those DVDs any more anyway. Clothes can fetch a respectable price, too. Round up all that junk you don't use any more. Collectively, they can easily double or triple your normal monthly payment. Just remember not to replace them again later.

Anyone can write an article about how being happy will solve all of life's problems but it's hard to force a smile when you're buried under a pile of shit.

Somehow, I doubt people reading the Consumerist are the people needing it pounded into their skulls ...

I view these get-out-of-debt tips the same way I view diet tips. Yes, they are redundant, and they are something you should know, but seeing it everyday is a reminder of what you are SUPPOSED to be doing.

@pestie: On the other hand, getting your debt forever takes only two steps.
1) Buy stuff on credit
2) buy more stuff.

Is there any limit to the number of times the same article can be written? Is there any limit to the number of times Consumerist will link to the same tired article?
