01:13Look for areas where you can cut expenses, like dining out or entertainment, and redirect
01:19those funds toward your debt.
01:21Consider boosting your income to speed up debt repayment.
01:26You can take on a side hustle, freelance, or sell items you no longer need.
01:31Every extra dollar can make a big difference in paying down your debt.
01:35Paying off debt takes time and discipline, but staying motivated is key.
01:42Celebrate small wins along the way, and remember that consistency is what will get you to your
01:47goal.
