Quick-fix solutions are always in demand. Don’t we just love to have ready made answers to all our predicaments? Usually a lot of the issues we face are self-created. Being steeped in debts is one of them.

Debt management is the root to debt freedom. It is a fact of life that the longer we are in debt, the more interest we pay. For example, if we have taken a 20 year term housing loan, the total amount of interest we will pay over that long period may eat away our financial resources a great deal. It will also be money that could have been put into better use. It therefore makes good sense to clear your most expensive debts first and do it fast.

It is common knowledge and experience that tells us that people who have several debts have got there largely due to mismanagement of funds. It is when we do not properly or effectively ( and sometimes even foolishly) use the money at our disposal that we find we are left with little or none at all. Isn’t what someone said about respecting money and it will respect you ring true!

So then considering the situation as it is, namely, that you are in debt and need to get out of it let’s see what we can do to help.

First and foremost you need to put down all your income and expenditure on paper. See it for what it is- clearly and without any frills. Numbers do talk and you can at a glance know what comes in and what goes out. Make a separate column and total the outstanding due to your name. Separate the standard outgoings from the others e.g monthly utility bills are a regular feature but a purchase of a suit for Christmas is not.

You can then see how much is necessary from luxury spending. Your food, clothing and shelter and associated monthly costs are basic.

Once you’ve sieved through, you will know your wants from your needs. This is vital information. Often what we think we need, is actually a want – something you can well live without, especially if you want to get out of the red!

Now for the next step. Calculate how much of minimum balance you have to pay for each of your debts. Once you get that figure, and you hopefully have something left as balance, add that to one of the payments that you will be
