It’s important to get out debt. Debt paralyses the budgets of families and individuals and makes a dent in their financial future. You can get out of debt right now. All you have to do is a bit of budgeting. Write down all your incomes then total up the incomes. Similarly down your total expenses.
Total the amount of expenses that you have. Then subtract the total of the expenses from the total of the revenues. If it’s positive, then you are able to save the dollars. In case its negative, it means that you are living beyond your income. Which is why you are taking debts to cover your expenses. Debts can also be taken as a measure for tax saving. However we are not talking about that financial aspect. When debt paralyses the financial future of the family, then its time that drastic measures should be taken.
Then look at the debts that you have taken. If you have taken a loan to buy the latest cell phone, the sell the cell phone and buy a cheaper one. Pay of the loan. Don’t buy an expensive model till you can afford to buy one. This should be a thumb rule for almost all the things that you buy. Stop buying on credit and you will get out of debt...
