You work for years to pay off your debt. You've scrimped. You've saved. You've put your extra dollars toward debt freedom. But what do you do with your money when you're done? How do you make the most of your finances now that you have new goals? And, more importantly, what can you do to avoid falling back into the debt trap?

That's what this week's "Money!" podcast is about. As usual, my co-host will be financial journalist Miranda Marquit. Listening in and sometimes contributing is producer and novice investor Aaron Freeman. Today, our special guest is Marcus Garrett, author of the book D.E.B.T. Free or Die Trying. We're going to talk about his journey to dig out of the debt hole — and what he's done to stay out of it.
