Did you get yourself out of debt? Tell us about it.

Have you successfully paid down your debt, or close to it?

Congratulations, and we want to hear from you.

For an upcoming article in the Business section, we’ll be interviewing folks willing to share their stories about how they’ve changed their financial habits -- and their lives -- by paying down their debt.

Whether it was just plain hard work and sacrifice, a strategic refi or even a windfall, we’d like to hear your stories. They will be instructive and inspirational at a time when many people are weighed down by debt.

Please note: Those willing to be interviewed must be comfortable with having their name and some of their financial information in the paper.

If you can share your story, please send a short note to [email protected]. And please put “Out of debt” in the subject line.

Thanks.
