Quick Tips On How To Stay Out Of Debt (Keel Associates)

I remember when I first got my very 1st credit card. I made some really silly spending choices. I bought and bought never stopping to actually think about what I was buying. Just simply charging! Not only that but I was so eager to get my 1st credit card that I did not really “shop” around for the best interest rate credit card. Not only did I rack up a large about of credit card bills but my interest I was accruing was just as bad!  This went on for sometime until thankfully my now husband helped me get my act together. He helped me find another credit card where I could lower my interest rate which I then transferred my balance over to and made sure I paid off quickly! 

 

Are you like I was? How can you stay out of debt? Here are quick tips on how to stay out of debt:

Always pay off higher interest rate debts before lower interest rate debt.  As mentioned the interest rate was high and sometimes it was as much as what I owed on my purchases.

 

Do not live beyond your means.  I know people who just buy, buy, buy to just have stuff.  When I make a purchase I think, “Do I need that”? Most of the times its no so I do not buy it.

 

Make sure you have a budget.  Consider all of your bills, leave money for emergencies and do not spend outside of your budget.  Example: If you paid off a car loan then set the monthly payment aside as if you were still making the payment so that when the time comes you have the cash available to pay for a new car and not to have to take a loan. Maybe open up a separate car fund bank account and place that money in your account that you would have used as the car payment.

 

As I mentioned I racked up a high debt on a credit card. The credit card had a high interest rate. I felt like I could not get my head above the water. So even though it took me awhile to pay it off I was able to transfer the amount from a high interest rate to a lower interest rate credit card.

 

When my husband and I met he had student loans.  It literally took us 11 years of our marriage to pay these loans off.  Hind sight is 20/20.  He says if he could have done it all over again he would have taken classes at the local college instead of a university because it was more expensive. His loans were a burden to us because financially we were trying to start our family.  So little by little we paid his loan off. When it was all said and done it was a huge relief.  Financially it does not have to be a burden because there are programs that can help students with their student loans.
