I was in debt until age 38. At that point, I had had enough and was ready to live a different life.
I wanted to live on passive income. Before building a large portfolio of passive income, I had to pay off my debt.
Transitioning from debt to dividends is a challenging proposition. In most cases, you must live far below your means to obtain your seed money.
However, once you transition, everything seems to be better. The grass is greener, and the sky is bluer. Passive income is the way; however, you must first remove any debt from the equation. Good Luck!
