Debt Is Negative Wealth, Get Rid Of It
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010Debt is negative wealth. If you want to be wealthy don’t get into debt. But howsoever simple it may appear on paper, most people take the easy way out. If they want more, they simply spend without sparing a thought to affordability, thanks to availability of easy credit card debt.
Unless you make a commitment to eliminate debt, your credit card debt is going to accumulate. Remember that credit is the party and debt is the hangover. And this hangover is not easy to get over. It can land you in financial trouble and you may even face credit card bankruptcy if you do not take timely action.
The best way to keep out of debt is to use your credit card wisely. Think twice before you offer it for swiping. Keep track of your finances and prepare a budget. If you want to avoid the ‘debt hangover’ stick to the basic mantra, you don’t want it if you can’t afford it. It is as simple as that. If you are ready to manage your debt, start by having only one card with a small limit, say $1,000. When the statement arrives, don’t just look at the minimum amount, but pay the entire balance every month.
If you find that your debt is accumulating the first thing that you need is credit counseling. Many companies offer credit counseling services online as well.
