Rounding it up
Hailey paid off $21,000 of debt before she turned 23. How? By budgeting.
The road to debt-free living also meant making sacrifices, such as cutting back on going out and putting birthday money towards her repayments.
But that doesn’t mean she splurged where necessary, like a pair of Blundstones, a Canadian essential.
To those struggling with debt, Haily advises to, “write down your goals and visualize achieving them.”
