Well, here we are: a brand new year!

Chances are, you're one of the 81% of Americans with a financial new year's resolution. The most common financial resolution this year? Like many other years, it's paying off debt.

But how do you make it happen? Obviously, with a plan. So, let's make one!

As usual, host Stacy Johnson is joined by financial journalist Miranda Marquit. Listening in and sometimes contributing is producer Aaron Freeman. This week, John and David, the Debt Free Guys, join us to discuss the five things you need to know about creating a successful debt pay-down plan.

Remember, even though we sometimes talk about money and specific investments on this show, don't take them as recommendations. Before investing in anything or making any other money moves, do your own research and make your own decisions.
