Ever since I wrote my first book, “Life or Debt,” nearly 20 years ago, I’ve been trying to guide readers and viewers to a debt-free life. Why? Because debt is like a cancer that eats away at your financial future.

The money you pay to use other people’s money — aka, interest — is money that’s not around to help you reach your financial goals.

Destroying debt is easier said than done, but whether you carry a small balance on your credit card or have a million-dollar mortgage, there are specific steps you can take to become debt-free at the earliest possible moment.

In this week’s “Money!” podcast, we’re going to find out what they are. As usual, my co-hosts will be financial journalist Miranda Marquit and producer Aaron Freeman.

Sit back, relax and listen to this week’s “Money!” podcast:

Not familiar with podcasts?

A podcast is basically a radio show you can listen to anytime, either by downloading it to your smartphone or other device, or by listening online.

They’re totally free. They can be any length (ours are typically about a half-hour), feature any number of people and cover any topic you can possibly think of. You can listen at home, in the car, while jogging or, if you’re like me, when riding your bike.

You can listen to our latest podcasts here or download them to your phone from any number of places, including Apple, Spotify, RadioPublic, Stitcher and RSS.

If you haven’t listened to a podcast yet, give it a try, then subscribe to ours. You’ll be glad you did!
