Debt To Wealth – 4 ‘Can’t Ignore’ Ways To Reduce Debt (and Get Closer To Wealth)
Unfortunately, if debt was a problem for people before the credit crisis, it certainly is now. We need a way to get from debt and more towards wealth if we are to survive financially (and mentally). As you know we are in the worst ever financial economic disaster the world has ever seen.
Multiple precedents have been set in these most uncertain times. How can we possibly keep up with our bills when food costs are rising, fuel prices are skyrocketing, and taxes just keep going up? It seems to be never ending.
To add to the mix we have a mortgage to pay, car payments to meet, and credit cards to pay down. It’s just debt, debt, and more debt.
There is a lot to be said about our attitude towards money also. If you are wishing for a better financial position and you focus on how much you are in debt and that the world is conspiring again you, do you really think your situation will get better? Why not turn this around and start focusing on positive things like how deserving you are of money and what your life will be like with more money. Your subconscious mind will start to think of ways of how to get mote money.
Let’s have a look at some other ways to get ourselves out of debt and ultimately towards wealth.
1. One thing is for sure: if you don’t change anything nothing is going to get better. If there is any guarantee in life this is it. Stop wishing for something different without doing something different.
2. You’ve probably heard this before but you must pay off the credit card with the highest interest rate first. This is just common sense. If you have multiple credit cards then cut some up with scissors! This will help to force the habit of spending above your means out of you.
3. Try this: every time you go shopping to buy something that isn’t an essential item think to yourself “do I really need this or do I just want it?” This one has definitely helped me out on many occasions.
4. Study up and educate yourself on financial matters such as budgeting, saving using automatic transfers, and how to invest and use money wisely. When you start to financially educate yourself you may want to take it further and work on creating a second income stream. Having income from just a job really is the riskiest thing you can do long term.
Having multiple income streams (other than your job) can alleviate you financial woes and reduce your debt faster.
People educate themselves to get a good job but so many people fail to get a real financial education that will serve them throughout life. Use these tips on debt reduction and if you haven’t already, start thinking about your financial future. You could get a lot more out of life by taking full control of your situation to reduce your debt and get closer to wealth.
