Dani Johnson Shares Tips For Getting Out Of Debt

STUDIO CITY (CBS) — Finance guru Dani Johnson visited KCAL9 Wednesday to give viewers tips on how to get out of debt.

The average household in America has $14,743 in credit card debt, but Johnson says there is a painless way to eliminate what you owe while building financial stability.

Johnson has helped hundreds of thousands of people pay off more than $100 million in debt.

Her new book, First Steps To Wealth, will be released on July 8.

Some of her tips include:

1) Eat out of your pantry, refrigerator and freezer until all of it's gone and then go to the store.

2) Or buy the food you only need for a week and don't go back for a week.

3) People have too much stuff in their lives. Look around your house and sell the things you don't need or want. Use the new found money it to pay off debt.
