Ever since I wrote my first book nearly 20 years ago, Life or Debt, 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-host will be financial journalist Miranda Marquit and producer Aaron Freeman.
