Why Debt Can Hold You Back

Debt can feel like a never-ending cycle, draining your income and preventing you from reaching financial freedom. Whether it’s credit card debt, student loans, or car payments, high-interest debt can keep you stuck, paying more in interest than you should. But the good news? With the right strategy, you can eliminate debt and start building wealth.

In this guide, we’ll break down the best debt repayment strategies, how to avoid common debt traps, and tips to boost your credit score along the way.
