Ways, ideas to get out of debt as soon as possible?

[Ralph E.]

I have lots of debt from student loan, credit cards, etc. Trying not to let it stress me out.

Went against my credit building knowledge last year (all mortgage FICO scores were close, or over 700 at the time), and took out some personal loans, which I invested in things not related to real estate. 
Living paycheck to paycheck, trying to snowball my credit card debt.

What have you done to get out of debt?

This is a question that might be for people who've been in my situation, but I'm sure there is knowledge from all over BP.

Thanks in advance!
