“Let’s pay down $10 million of debt—together.” That’s the kind idea the LIFE Foundation is excited to get behind. And that’s why we are helping to sponsor the Debt Movement, the brainchild of Jeff Rose of GoodFinancialCents, which is creating a community of people focused on getting rid of their debt.

While the main focus of this blog is to help you better understand how life insurance and related products are an important element in your financial plan, we also know that no financial plan is sound—or can be built on—if it is weighed down with too much debt.

We also understand how hard it is to take that first step, look your debt in the eye and start to make changes. But that’s the beauty of the Debt Movement—you are not doing this alone. More than 2,000 people have joined the movement and have paid down $180,000 so far.

By joining the movement you can:

• Get expert advice from finance bloggers and the Debt Squad
• Access tips and tools for getting out of debt
• Learn how others—ordinary people—got rid of their debt, including a couple that paid off $80,000 of debt in 18 months!
• Apply for a debt scholarship—free money to help you retire your debt (LIFE is sponsoring one of the scholarships!)

Take the first step, and just click to learn more.

We at LIFE wish you luck! And let’s us know how you’re doing.
