Correcting Your Debt Problem
Dealing with ones finances is never easy, especially when you
have a debt problem. A debt problem is created when you end up
spending more money than you spend on a consistent basis. It is
certainly possible that one might be forced to operate on a
negative cash flow for a short period of time, but if you are
unable to turn it around by increasing your income and/or
cutting your expenses then having a debt problem is inevitable. Some simple steps
can be followed that will help you get your finances back on
track and out of the red.
1. Spend Less Than You Make Financially savvy individuals do not
spend everything they make. At the top of their financial
priorities is savings. These people are wealthy for a reason.
They didn't spend every last dime they made. Don't overlook this
principle.
2. Make a Budget
The first step to eliminating your debt problem involves
creating a budget. A budget is a lot like a diet - neither does
you any good if they are not followed. When creating your budget
you should map out your monthly cash flow. The cash flows will
include both your expected sources and uses of money, also known
as your income and expenses. If you do not have a good
understanding of where your money is coming from and where it is
going you will never be able get on top of your debt problem.
Thus it is also important to implement a budget as a tracking
mechanism. You should record and track your expenses each month.
Towards the end of each month you should analyze your financial
situation. Did you spend more then you made? Where were your
biggest expenses? Can these expenses be curbed? As you are
analyzing your budget, you have to look for the fat that can be
cut away. For instance, if you find you spent a lot of money
eating out then you can easily curtail that habit and eat in
more. That will save you money and help your bottom line. Your
budget should be repeatedly reviewed and fine tuned in this
manner each month. Slowly but surely you will notice your
monthly expenses decreasing below
your monthly income level,
creating some extra income.
3. Form a Debt Repayment Schedule
Once you have created extra income, you can begin to address your
debt problem. Typically you will want to apply your excess money
to the highest cost debt first. Say you have debt on 3 credit
cards with rates of 20%, 18%, and 12%. To begin with you will
want to pay the minimum monthly amount on each card, and apply
all the extra income you have each month to the highest rate
card (20%). Once you have paid this card off, you will then take
the monthly minimum amount you were paying on the 20% interest
rate credit card plus the monthly surplus of money and apply it
to the next highest interest rate card (18%). Continue on till
this card is paid off, and then do the same with the last card.
4. Make Saving a Habit
When you have paid of your debt problem the next step is to
begin saving your extra income. At this point it would be wise
to begin taking the amount of money you were applying to your
credit card payment and put it into savings. You can continue to
live the lifestyle you have grown accustomed to as you create a
nice little nest egg for yourself. The key to saving your extra
income is being disciplined, and making saving both a priority
and a habit.
As you probably know financial stability is priceless. If you
want to avoid a debt problem then you must remain in control of
your spending habits, ensure that you are saving money each
month, and continue to work hard. Overcoming a debt problem
isn't always easy, but it can be done with hard work and
discipline.
