Various reasons in life may lead us to debt, such as high consumption, medical expenses, education loans and so on.
You can find out the cause of debt by checking your expenses and looking at the places where the overexpenditure is the most serious.
Only by figuring out the reasons for your debt can you make a better repayment plan and adjust your financial management methods.
If it is a debt caused by the pressure of life, you can try to cut some unnecessary expenses;
If it is because of investment failure or business failure, we should conscientiously sum up experience and lessons to avoid making mistakes again. ......
2. Clean up all debts.
Although many people know that they have not paid off their debts, they know nothing about the specific amount, but they only pay the minimum amount when the repayment period comes, so that they will not be overdue.
In order to get rid of debts as soon as possible, we need to list all debts.
List all the IOUs and credit card bills, and calculate the total amount and interest.
Know the principal, interest rate and repayment period of each debt.
This can help us fully understand the debt situation and make a targeted repayment plan.
3. Make a repayment plan
According to the debt situation, make a reasonable repayment plan and pay off all debts by stages. Every little makes a mickle!
When making a repayment plan, you can consider the following points:
Give priority to paying off debts with high interest rates, such as credit card debts, and gradually pay off other debts.
Try to spread the debts of different creditors.
At the same time, ensure that the minimum repayment amount is paid on time to avoid additional expenses such as penalty interest.
After making the repayment plan, stick to it and don't give up halfway ~
4. Analyze the financial situation
Many people think that bookkeeping is useless, but it is really important to know your financial situation clearly.
Just like a cup of milk tea today and a dress tomorrow, it looks nothing, but a lot of things add up.
Keep a detailed record of all your income and expenses for a month, and see where your money is spent and which expenses can be cut.
Only by knowing where your money is spent can you avoid unnecessary expenses and use the saved money to repay debts and speed up the repayment process.
5. Subtract life.
Divide your current expenses into two categories:
Necessary expenses (rent, utilities, three meals a day, transportation, etc. )
Non-essential expenses (social entertainment, shopping, etc. )
In the process of paying off debts, we should learn to subtract from life and temporarily cut some unnecessary expenses, such as shopping and traveling.
Only by properly controlling consumption, living a simple but stable life and spending more money on debt repayment can we get rid of the debt problem as soon as possible.
6. Find ways to increase income
In order to get ashore as soon as possible, in addition to controlling expenses, increasing income is also an effective method.
On the premise of ensuring your salary, you can increase your income and pay off your debts more quickly by sideline or part-time job or upgrading your skills.
Only people with good physical strength can take delivery, run errands and be drip drivers part-time.
Those who have the ability can try to take orders, write manuscripts, do PPT, take photos and so on on the platform.
In short, we must find ways to increase our income, act immediately, earn more, and we can pay it off earlier.
