Sort Out Your Debt

By plrprousers | October 31, 2008

We are in the worst financial crisis in decades and at the back of it all there is debt. Personal debt, corporate debt, government debt and global debt, in fact we owe so much it is hard to believe we allowed ourselves to get into this position. For some folk their earnings can manage the payments. For others their income is just not sufficient to pay for everything and their debts are rocketing away from them.

The world money crisis has promoted the onset of collapsing economies and the pain and poverty that will undoubtedly follow. There is no time to be lost. You simply have to set your affairs in order. Firstly, get hold of all the family credit cards and hide them away or incinerate them. They are far too easy to get into trouble with. Then make a list of all your debts. Choose the debt with the highest interest rates first. Work out the smallest amount that is required to be paid off each debt every month.

Now work out your new budget. List down your monthly expenses. Remember to include a monthly allowance for things like rates and insurance. Go through the budget and delete all unnecessary items like membership subscriptions and pay TV subscriptions. Take out all the stuff that you do not need for day to day life. If after this you have money to spare you can reinstate some of those things later on.

Now look at your outgoings compared to your income and hopefully you will now be in the black. If this proves to be the case use this money to commence paying off the amount of debt with the highest interest rate. After you have this one paid up you can start work on the one with next highest interest rate. Your surplus should now be showing a healthy improvement every month so maybe you could look at pay TV or some other little reward.

If you are still in trouble after doing your budget you may need to look at consolidating your debt into one single loan at a more friendly rate of interest. Look around to find the best rates. This will probably be hard to do but keep at it. If nothing is working for you try getting another job with more money plus find part time or after hours work to earn some extra cash. Perhaps you could live with relatives until you get your finances sorted out.

There are always things you can do, maybe you just need to look outside the square but you must make a start on reducing the debt. Nothing will improve if you take no action. Break the credit card habit right now and commit to a budget that will work for you.
