How to Alleviate Your Credit Card Debt

2009-09-16T17:48:00.000-07:00

With today’s economy, there are millions of people in the United States and in many other countries who are struggling with debt. It is easy to become overwhelmed with debt, with credit cards being the major factor of debt.
Credit cards are tempting to people because they almost view credit cards as free money, until they receive the bill. Most people don’t take the high interest rates that come along with credit cards into consideration when they begin using them.
When used responsibly, credit cards are not a bad thing. However, they can make or break the credit score of individuals depending on the manor in which they are used.

When you’re in debt, it may be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. However, alleviating your debt is simple if you start elimination credit cards and credit card debt
so you are left with one credit card that will be used for emergencies.

In order to eliminate credit cards, one should start paying them off.
When paying off credit card debt, you should focus on paying off the credit card that contains has the smallest amount of debt. Than eliminate the cards with the highest percentage rate of interest. This is important because the interest rates increase your
debt tremendously.

The steps to eliminate credit cards are:
The most important step is to stop using your credit cards altogether, pay only in cash.
Pay as much as you can to your credit card account each month and start a system of paying off credit cards so you will be left with only one credit card.
Pay all balances due on your credit cards. Pay as much as you can. Pay off the credit cards with the smallest amount due or those with the highest interest rates first.
Once you have paid off a balance on a credit card, you should close out the account to avoid allowing yourself to get back into the same situation in the future and avoid having credit card debt.

Keep one credit card for emergencies; be sure to keep the card with the most favorable terms, such as the card with the lowest interest rate and a lower spending limit. A lower spending limit will keep you from using the card frequently, and allow you to reserve the available balance.

Start using cash instead of credit cards.
It is very easy to buy with a credit card; you do NOT feel like you are spending money when you sign for your purchases. A signature does not register in our minds as actual money but it adds up to your credit card debt.
But when you are paying for things with cash (real money), you feel like you are actually spending money (because you are!). You can count the money and see right away how much is left in your wallet. As a result, you limit yourself to what you can afford and you spend only the money you have.

If you wish never to have any credit card debt, eliminate all your credit cards and open a Debit account.
A debit card is a good alternative to credit card. Debit card is similar to cash; you can spend only the money you have in your account, thereby preventing you from getting into debt and specially credit card debt.

Would You like a Passionate Love Affair with Your Money?

2009-06-22T16:39:00.000-07:00

Would you like to have a passionate love affair with your Money? Would you like to know how?
If you are tired of being in debt and struggling to keep on top of your finances, if you are tired of arguing about money and you would like to change your situation and stay on top of your expenses; you are in the right place.

You probably think that good money management is about being born with money or maybe being rich but it has nothing to do with how much money you have or how much money you earn. It is all about how you spend it.
It is about money habits; it is a lifestyle and a way of life.
Most wealthy people have many assets but yet, they don’t drive a brand new car every year and don’t jet around the world. Most of the time you can’t even recognize them as millionaires, they are careful with their spending, they never overspend, they live below their means and make a special point to save.
Wealthy people live frugal lifestyle: they live in average neighbourhood, in average houses, don’t buy expensive boat, watches, or suits and most don’t even buy new cars. They always shop for bargain, doesn’t matter how much money they have and will negotiate for the best deal.
That is the way they can live below their means and save. Most of the wealthy people that live in expensive neighbourhood or buy new cars do so after they become rich. They always direct all their attention to saving and good investments.
Planning, saving and spending carefully are some of the basics in managing money and reaching financial freedom.
I was able to apply some simple and proven money rules and succeed with my finance.
Was it because I was a genius? “NO” it was because I followed simple formulas.

There is a simple success formula that everyone can follow and succeed; it is a matter of following a proven formula.

This Formula is all about Money Management; Personal Budget, Credit Management, everyday Money Management, Money Goals, Taking Action and the right Mindset.
Knowing that I can pass this formula to others and they can succeed too – get me very excited!

Re article advertised in USnews 28/5/09
Tips for Financial Success

Enjoyed the article and enjoyed to see that there are still people who think like me.
I have lived all my life upon those principles: never live above your means, save as much as you can, never pay top dollar for anything, shop around, teach your kids the value of each dollar, in short: stretch your dollar further.
Following all those principals I have achieved my financial freedom. Everyone can achieve it, it doesn’t matter how much money you earn the only thing that matter is how much money you save and if you spend less than what you earn.
Over the years I helped many people to manage their money or as I call it: to have a passionate love affair with their money. I am very passionate about this Money Method which I is part of my everyday life.
I believe that the only way to manage your money is to learn the old fashion way of stretch your dollar further by saving and invest for the future. Everyone can do it, it is easy, and you just have to apply it.
