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.

To those struggling with debt, Haily advises to, “write down your goals and visualize achieving them.”
