The constant fear of family and coworkers discovering your shameful secret taxes your energy. Not to mention the hopelessness you feel as your situation spins out of control with outrageous interest payments and additional fees. Then there is the dread of opening your statements every single month. I know this with certainty because I experienced it in my twenties, just as many of my friends did. But rather than running up my own bills, I had unknowingly married into 40k in credit card debt.<\/p>\n<p>Ouch! And rather than bail on the new marriage, in spite of the King Kong-sized red flag, I chose to stay and help my future ex-husband pay off this enormous liability. What can I say? Love is blind. You can read more about my personal story\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lifewiselady.com\/life-wise-lady-submission-guidelines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, this is an unusual way to fall into a money pit. However, whether it\u2019s from reckless spending or a medical situation or a divorce, debt is debt. It is the thief of dreams and opportunities, and I loathe it. So we formulated a plan to knock out this balance within two years. As ridiculously lofty as that goal sounds, keep in mind that forty thousand dollars back then is about sixty-three thousand today. Now we\u2019re talking crazy ambitious, right?<\/p>\n<p>Given our household income was approximately sixty thousand dollars per year, we knew the cuts in expenses would be drastic and uncomfortable. Even so, we pressed forward and managed to wipe out our obligations in twenty-four months. Do you want to know how? Let\u2019s cover the seven ways I knocked out 40k in credit card debt quickly.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Food and Drinks:<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_145\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-145\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-145 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/lifewiselady.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Buy-and-cook-in-bulk.jpg\" alt=\"Food and Drinks\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifewiselady.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Buy-and-cook-in-bulk.jpg 640w, https:\/\/lifewiselady.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Buy-and-cook-in-bulk-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lifewiselady.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Buy-and-cook-in-bulk-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-145\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image by: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/family-doing-shopping-in-the-grocery-store-3985060\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Pexels<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li>For the sake of being thorough, I will include a few \u2018no-brainers\u2019 within my list.<\/li>\n<li>Buy and cook in bulk.

I splurged and went out once a month.<\/li>\n<li>Carry snacks and a water bottle in your purse to sidestep the store.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid restaurants &amp; coffee shops.
