Repay Your Debt in 8 Simple Steps and Lead a Stress-Free Life

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


All across Europe and in other parts of the world, people toil to pay their debts. Of particular note is the debt incurred through use of credit cards. Fortunately, as a consumer, you have a way out.

What strategy can you adopt to get out of the debt mountain? Here are eight tips that you will find most useful:

Know your debt

As a starting point, you should be aware of how much you owe. You need to call your lenders and request for a breakdown of what they expect you to pay. Once you have the information, note it down on a spreadsheet. In the end, you will have a clear picture of where you stand.

Rank your debts

Having known what you owe, the next step is to rank your debts. Perhaps you could arrange the figures beginning with the highest. The objective is to start paying off the loans that have the highest rate of interest charged. A debt repayment calculator also comes in handy.

Manage your expenditure

Knowledge of what you earn and spend in a month will come in handy. Failure to establish how much money remains after you pay your bills can create a setback in your attempts to get out of debt. Revisit your budget and see which expenses you need to reduce or eliminate.

Live affordably

Do you know how you got into so much debt? Perhaps you got into a cyclic spending spree. You may not have noticed, but you have been spending more money than you earn. Therefore, decide to start living a life you can afford.

Allocate funds for settlement of debt

In your debt portfolio, you will notice that you took several loans. From your budget, allocate money to allow you to make defined payments every month. Once settled, use the additional cash to repay the debts you had earlier prioritized.

Automation

You realize that very few people can control the way they handle money. The moment your paycheck comes in, you immediately have the urge to start spending. To avoid this impulse, engage your bank in setting up a payment structure. Once money comes into your account, it first goes to your lenders while you get to spend the remainder.

Scrap expenditure on unnecessary stuff

Do you love movies, vacations and spending money on clothes? If you do, the behavior could lead to a relapse. Therefore, put the luxuries on hold at least until you gain control over your debts.

Additional income

At this point, you might consider ways of boosting your income. You could do some part-time work or even be a freelancer online. Moreover, you can also sell stuff that you no longer use or need. Furniture and clothes are some examples.

Being buried in debt is not the end of life. Find out how much you owe. Rank your debts from the most important to the least. Begin to adjust your lifestyle such that you only live within your means. Use any excess cash towards loan repayment. Request your bank to deduct what you need to pay your lenders automatically. Follow these steps, and you will soon emerge from substantial borrowing.
