Lessons Learned From the Pay Down Your Debt Challenge

The Money Coach, AARP members share best advice

from: AARP, March 23, 2012

Challenge: Face the truth about your debt

“I have to learn to check out the cost of maintenance, insurance and operating costs of what I buy. … By checking the costs, I find I buy less items that I want and reduce debt by buying mostly what I need.” — Mack59

“I chose Mack59 because she went the extra mile and even itemized other monthly and yearly obligations, which shows me she’s really serious about living a financially prosperous and debt-free life!” — the Money Coach
