Your credit history, detailed in your credit report and summarized by credit scores, shows how well you’ve handled borrowed money — and using a credit card responsibly is one of the quickest and easiest ways to build credit. You’ll make more progress toward eliminating your debt. Use only a portion of your available credit.

Today’s Debt Free Story is from Lydia. She blogs about living a limitless life on a limited budget at Frugal Debt Free Life. How much debt did you pay off? What kind of debt was it? We paid off $36,000 in student loans, credit cards, cars and a bit of medical debt. What inspired you to get debt free?

Yep, I found a $20 bill while running on the beach! I have used the extra money to pay off debt, fund family trips, or build up our Christmas savings. Years ago during our Debt Freedom Plan, I avoided using credit cards, not because we had credit card debt, but I was trying to limit our overall spending.

We paid off our last non-mortgage debt in September and have since sent that loan’s monthly payment to our mortgage principal. I set up a strategy years ago to pay for those yearly expenses , so thankfully, there’s money for these bills and we won’t fall behind. Stop sending an extra payment to our mortgage.

Today’s Debt Free Story is a guest post from Chris Peach. Then one day it all came crashing in on us in February 2011. We sat down at our kitchen table, took out a simple white piece of paper, and penned out a contract to ourselves: It was our Get Out Debt Contract. He and his wife paid off $52,000 in just 7 months.

Well this week I wanted to give you an update on how the trip went. It paid really well, especially for the age I was at. Things went well for a while; I was paying my bills and traveling. You see, I was too young to fully appreciate what I had and I didn’t manage my money as well as I should. Reducing Debt.
