Debt Reduction Tips Just For You

When it comes to finding debt reduction tips to help you eliminate your debts, there seems to be a lot of conflicting information to think about. Some websites seem to advocate using debt negotiation. Other websites prefer the option of debt consolidation while some others seem to think that the only way to save money is to live like a pauper in order to save every cent possible.

So which debt reduction tips are the right tips to follow? The right debt reduction tips are the ones that suit your unique financial situation and work within your individual budget and debt levels. Nobody else has the exact same income and debt levels as you do, so when you’re trying to find ways to get out of debt, try to work with those tips that suit your needs best.

Tip 1: Spend less than you earn. 
You can help to break out of your credit trap by watching what you spend and making sure that you’re only buying things you can afford.

Tip 2: Create a Budget
A budget is nothing more than a list of your income and your expenses. When you see your expenses listed down on paper, it’s often an eye-opening experience. It can help you to pinpoint those areas where you might need to tighten the purse strings or find ways to reduce costs.

Tip 3: Reduce Costs
See if you can reduce the amount of times you eat out in a week. Learn to cook simple meals at home. Look for ways to reduce the amount of interest you pay each month by refinancing to low-interest options or negotiating with your lender for reduced rates.

Tip 4: Cut Up the Cards
If you’re serious about debt reduction, then cut up your credit cards. Work on repaying the balance but with the cards gone it’s harder to add to the debt levels. If you really want to buy something in the stores, then use lay away or save your money until you have enough to buy those things in cash.

Tip 5: Plan for Expenses
When a bill arrives, check the payment due date. Write the bill name and amount on a calendar for three or four days before the bill is due to be sure you have plenty of warning that you need to have money put aside for this.

Tip 6: Foresight
It’s strange how many people seem surprised that it’s Christmas already and they haven’t got enough money to buy gifts. You’ve known for a whole year when Christmas is going to be, so put aside some money or lay-away the gifts you want to buy. The same thing applies to birthdays, special occasions and other celebrations.

Tip 7: Payment Frequency
Don’t leave each repayment until the end of the month to make a payment. If you’re paid weekly, divide each of your repayments by four. If you’re paid bi-monthly, divide your repayments by two. Then pay this new amount each time you’re paid. It will make budgeting easier for you and you’ll be reducing your balance on a more regular basis.

Tip 8: Snowball Your Debts
The snowball method is perhaps one of the best debt reduction tips available. You cut back all your repayment to bare minimums and work on paying extra money on just one debt. When that first debt is paid, put all of that payment amount on top of the amount you’re paying on the next debt in line. Continue until your debts are gone.

Tip 10: Be Realistic
It took you time to accumulate your debts and it will take you time to get back out of debt again too. You need to be patient and work towards your goals. Taking short cuts or giving in to temptation too often will just put you back at square one. Be realistic about your financial responsibilities and stay positive.
