Right now, everything is in crises, the banks, insurance, gas prices, or even your kitchen. I will candidly advise you not to make matters worst by incurring bas debts, especially during this yuletide. But if you are already deep in debt, I will give you honest tips that will assist you get out of it faster before the global meltdown catches up with you. Don’t forget that if it does, the value of your debt increases daily. So what you are paying now is worth more in value than if you had paid it earlier.

Each month, try paying the minimums. It’s something you’ve got a handle on since you are not charging your credit card or accumulating new debts anymore – it seems that you will be paying the minimum fees forever.

Do you know that how you pay your debts affects how soon you will finish paying them off – even if you keep paying the same amount for debt every month? Even if you are eligible for a consolidation loan, you might not be interested, or perhaps you are not eligible, then there are several other things you can do.

It’s not always the easiest to figure out the mathematics, but these are steps to quicker debt relief – guaranteed. Remember; don’t let the world’s financial woes be your nemesis!

Make a List

List your smallest debts first followed by your largest high-interest debts (credit card) and then your largest low-interest debts (Lines of credit and taxes).

Plan to pay the minimums on all debts with these goals in mind:

Make out Small Bills First

They may not be the highest interest, but every bill that you are paying some interest on means you are usually only paying minimal amounts on the principal. Multiple debts are also a sure way to bring your spirits down, worst still if you are hypertensive. Paying off small debts first is a quick way to start checking them off – and freeing your mind.

Drive Payments Along

When one debt is paid add the funds to the next debt. For example, say you’re making $80 payments to a small debt. When the debt is cleared add the $80 to the next debt on your list. If the next debt had a minimum payment of $100, you will now pay $180 until it is paid off. When that one is finished, take the $180 and add it to the next payment and so on.

Save Your Money

As your debts are cleared you have set yourself up for a better financial future. To take advantage of your new situation, I advice that you use all the money you were spending on debts and start investing or saving it every month.

This strategy means your debts will clear faster and you will pay less interest, you are sure to see progress as you clear small debts first.

WARNING; Don’t be tempted to use the funds for personal use instead of debt repayment.

It is a worthwhile goal to get out of debt. Seeing that goal come sooner and teaching yourself discipline sets you up for a brighter financial future. You OWE yourself that!
