It's about saving to retire early and can be applied to getting out of debt..

For me it was taking any raise and putting towards my employer matched 401K. Drive less, keep my car longer, local vacations and spend frugally. I don't go out to eat that much. Yes it hurts a bit but you come out of it if you persist. It becomes a habit. YMMV, works for me..
