How are you leveraging your debt to retirement? How do you verify the information you are following is reducing your debt?

The true method of reducing any debt is to aggressively repay the money borrowed. The interest will automatically reduce, because it is calculated on a daily basis, on the outstanding balance. Therefore, the money you are not paying to interest is paying down your balance. This works for all debt from a small credit card balance to a mortgage. The key however, is to see what you are doing. That starts with a simple budget. See my 2020 interest activity on my credit card, pictured.
