Brain Top Off!

Today in America we are facing much more than just an economic crisis. People are losing their jobs, or their pay and benefits are being drastically cut. Millions are facing extremely high credit card debts, and they have no way to pay their bills and put food on the table, too. What is their solution? Kill their wife and children, and then take their own life, too, because they can’t face the future. The credit card debts must be paid off. Here is the way you can become debt free.

Stop using the credit cards with the highest interest rates. Let the credit card companies know that you want them to close your account so no one can make any more purchases on it. Tell them about your plans to pay it off as fast as you can. Leave the credit card with the lowest interest rate open, but put it in a drawer, and don’t take it with you when you go shopping.

Decide that your main goal will be to pay off your debts as fast as you can in order to become debt free. Understand that you may have to work at extra odd jobs, and that you will have to sacrifice to meet your goal.

Make a budget and don’t go over it. Write down all of your monthly expenses and approximately how much you have to spend for each one. Look over your list and see where you can cut expenses. For now, leave just the things that are necessary for daily living and your monthly bills.

Remember that your goal is not to spend anything that isn’t totally necessary. If you don’t go shopping and if you don’t surf the web for special buys, you won’t spend money. Stay home, and only use the computer for free games or research. Don’t even spend on things you enjoy. For now, you must tighten your belt, and live as cheaply as you can.

Now you are ready to get rid of your debt. Make it your goal to pay off the card with the highest interest first, then the next highest card and on down to the lowest. Put every bit of extra money you can come up with during the month towards paying off your first card. Don’t forget to make the minimum payment on your other cards. Once you eliminate the first card, add that money to the minimum you were paying on the second card. Continue the same process with each card.

It wasn’t hard at all for you to get in debt. In fact, it probably happened faster than you realized. Now you will have to dig in your heels, and with an unprecedented determination, do everything you can to get out of debt. Follow these suggestions, and your debt will begin to disappear.
