Having a Debt Free Living

The elements to having a debt free living are certainly old. It's the same as dieting - everyone wants a NEW approach - a "never been seen before" way to lose weight - when the simple fact remains that the only way to lose weight is to take in fewer calories than the body uses.

To become debt free - you must spend less money than you make and pay down the PRINCIPLE of your debt so you are no longer paying interest on money owed. Simple right?  You can also seek debt advise.

With this situation, first of all, you have to place all your bills on the table and then note the comparison between the money you owe for that month and the amount of money you are going to receive.

A BUDGET has to be set and you have to stick to it. It may be challenging for you initially, however you will get used to it along the way.

Dave Ramsey's "snowball plan is actually preferable whereby you take on lesser debts first and then keep on installing those amounts to other debts until what is left is merely a mortgage. Don't bother with those consolidation services. Contemplating too much about this, bankruptcy might be a choice you ought to reflect on.

The second component is to increase your income, but be careful. It would be fine to really strive but never ever ruin your life during the course.  Otherwise, you would end up seeing yourself in need of debt help.

I'm quite worried about the individuals who work too much in order to lessen their debt plus raise their income just to accomplish these goals regularly. Remember, there are only 24 hours in one day and no person can work the whole 24 hours everyday!

My wife always likes to eat out however, it would be silly to do that since you must pay your balance on the credit card firstly prior to adding another meal into it so that interests won't build up on it.

Many "Debt Specialists" will then advise you to never eat out again until you are out of debt - a fair recommendation except they don't know my wife! Therefore, what shall we do?

What we mostly do in order to have a pleased wife and a debt free life is to raise our income to be able to fastly escape from debts and afford to go out and eat daily.

Keep in mind - debts are not really necessary!  If you think the other way around, then you end up into seeking advise from debt management companies.
