Are you currently working to pay down your debt? Well, guess what? You ARE SAVING!
When you actively reduce your debt, you save on interest. When you pay on time, you save on late fees and maintain your credit score – which will save money long-term.
Reducing debt should be acknowledged and celebrated as a form of saving and a component of your financial plan.
