Debt is one of the burning issues considering the nation’s economy. Many people are knee-deep in debt. So if you think you’re
alone, think again, hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Americans are facing the same challenge. According to a new poll,
paying down outstanding debt is the most important financial priority for more than 1/4th of the total population.
Reducing your debt and its burdens can surely improve your financial status. Here are some of the most feasible and realistic
solutions to reevaluate your repayment plans and get ahead.
1. Know your debt– At the onset, you need to know how much debt you actually have. Most people don’t know how much they
owe. Before you can manage your debts effectively, you must know what you owe and how much interest you pay. Make a list of
every debt including mortgage, credit card, student loan and whatever you have. Jot down the lender’s name, amount owed, terms
and conditions of the loan and interest rate. After preparing the list, calculate the total balance.
2. Know your credit score– Time changes and so does your credit score. A credit score is best defined as a numeric value used by
the lenders to evaluate your credit risk at a particular time. It changes depending on your payment history, amounts owed, new
credit application and many other factors. The higher the score the better it is. Make sure you know your present credit score as it
determines whether you’ll be approved for a credit card, mortgage and other loans or not. Your credit score also influences the
interest rate you’re offered.
3. Create a feasible budget – Reducing debt is like losing extra weight. But as you can’t lose 60 pounds in a month, you can’t
reduce all your debt at one time. It needs thorough planning and time. Set a realistic goal in a reasonable period of time. Keep track
of your spending for a given month and see where your dollars are actually going. Now, create a monthly budget by including your
income, estimating expenditure and calculating the difference. You may use a mobile banking app or a banking app to create
spending limits and alerts.
