   I have seen so many people struggling with paying off debt. I have always found it easy because it was a behavior I learned as a teenager. I decided to help others teach themself a method of debt reduction that becomes behavior.

      I am one of those struggling with paying off debt. It's hard when you have obligations and kids all at the same time.
