How to Reduce Your Debt and Get Back on Your Feet
Are you deep in debt and sinking fast? Unfortunately, many people are in that situation but there are alternatives. It takes a committed effort. Aside from bankruptcy, there is only one way to get out of debt; pay it off. And there are only two ways to pay it off; bring more money into your household and use that extra cash to pay down debt, or reduce spending and use the savings to pay down debt. These are your only alternatives.
In addition to getting a part time job, there are other ways to bring in extra money. Have a garage sale. Clean out that junk in the garage and get it on the curb. You would be surprised at the stuff people will buy. This can be particularly profitable if your town participates in a yard sale day.
Another way to make some extra money is through Ebay. This is like an online garage sale. Gather up your old unwanted stuff, take a few digital pictures and your in business. In fact, many people do make a business out of selling used items on Ebay. After you've cleaned out the attic and garage, visit your neighbors garage sale and sell their junk on Ebay! Just make sure that you commit all of your profits to reducing your debt.
In addition to bringing in extra money, you should cut back on your expenses. Eating out is an area where you can save lots of money. Do you bring a lunch to work or eat out every day> Do you give your kids lunch money or pack their lunch. The average family spends over $2400 a year on food outside the home. By packing lunches, you can easily save $150 a month. Make sure you reduce your debt with this savings. No fair cheating.
Another way to save money is to leave your credit cards at home. For most of us, it's all too easy to pull out the plastic if we don't have the cash available for an impulse purchase. If you don't carry the cards with you, you won't be tempted. Although this won't put any extra money in your pocket, it will prevent you from making your debt problem even worse.
