Today’s Money Savvy Tip
[tweetthis]The first step to getting control of debt is to forgive yourself.[/tweetthis]
In almost all cases, the debt you created was for reasons that felt necessary and right to you at the time.
Don’t blame yourself. Instead be honest about the reasons why you created the debt and the emotions behind them.
Then forgive yourself for the debt you created, and let it go.

I’m a professional cleaner with over 13 years of hands-on experience cleaning homes, a published writer, certified money specialist, and the founder of A Mess Free Life. After paying off over $50,000 in debt, I dedicated myself to helping others master their homes and their money — proving that a clean, organized, stress-free life is possible no matter where you’re starting from. When I’m not writing, you’ll find me cooking, playing bocce, sipping an extra dirty martini, or enjoying the ocean with my cats nearby. I’m also a proud mom and grandma who cares deeply for my mother at home.
