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 beleive we allowed ourselves to get into this position. For some people their income can manage the repayments. For others their incomes do not cover all the expenses and those debts are rising to ever more unaffordable levels.
World financial wobbles have raised the horror of collapsing economies and the resultant pain and poverty that will inevitably 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. Put those with the highest interest rate charges first. Determine the lowest amount that needs to be paid off each debt every month.
Now work out your new budget. List all your monthly expences. Do not forget to make a monthly allowance for those periodic payments like rates and insurances. Go through the budget and delete all unnecessary items like membership subscriptions and pay TV subscriptions. Delete everything that is not necessary to everyday living. If there is money left over after this you can look at reinstating some of those things later on.
Compare outgoing to income and hopefully, this will now show a surplus. If this proves to be the case use this money to commence paying off the amount of debt with the highest interest rate. Get the first one paid off and then work on the one with the next highest interest rate. You should be enjoying a better surplus every month so perhaps you can rejoin cable TV or some other membership.
If, after doing your budget you are still in deep trouble you will need to look at redoing your debt into one single loan at a better over all interest rate. Look around to find the best rates. This may prove difficult but keep trying. If all else fails, try finding a better job that pays better money or look at finding a part time job to do at weekends or at night. Maybe you could live with family until you get the 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.
