The best debt elimination plan I have ever seen is also one of the most straightforward. You have to go back real far in years to get great debt elimination advice like this
Step 1- Carry a little notebook with you for a pair a weeks and record anything and everything you’re spending money on. For instance, that cup of cappuccino or espresso that you can not seem to do without. you can be surprised at how much is falling through the little cracks on that sort of stuff.
Step 2- Divide your expenses by twelve to get your average monthly costs.
Step 3- List the balance due for all your debts, including your mortgage.
Step 4- List the minimum monthly payment for your debts. What’s the total of all of your minimum monthly payments you ask? Well let’s assume, for instance the total is $1,000 a month.
Step 5- Divide the balance due by the minimum monthly payment for each debt. This will give you the quantity of months it’ll take to pay down each debt presuming the minimum monthly payment.
Step 6- Rank your debts by how many months it’ll take to pay down every one. The fewest number of months all of the way down to the largest number of months.
Step 7- Prioritize your debts by the quantity of months it’ll take to repay each and every one. Your biggest priority debt is the one that you can pay down in the fewest number of months. Your lowest concern debt is the one which will take you the greatest number of months.
Step 8- O.K , in previous step four, you totaled the minimum monthly payments on your current debts. We are using as an example a total of $1,000.
Step 9- Redirect $100 that you are spending on something you can live without and apply that to getting out of debt. I also don’t w
ant to hear you can’t scape up the one hundred dollars because that would be a lie…
Step 10- Take that $100 to pay more of your balance for your highest debt. It’ll be the one that you can pay in the highest number of months. For instance, if the minimum monthly payment on your highest concern debt is $400, you are now paying $500 each month toward paying down that debt. Once that debt balance is paid off, you currently have $500 a month to apply to your second highest debt. For instance, let’s assume the minimum monthly payment for your second highest concern debt is $75. You are now paying $575 a month on that debt ( $500 + 75 ).
When that debt is paid off you have $550 a month to apply to the next highest debt on your list. You keep doing that till you are totally out of debt including your mortgage.
The great thing about this debt elimination system is that you can be absolutely debt free in just five to ten years( that includes your home mortgage).
