In a world where spending tomorrow’s earnings and cash has become the norm, it’s hard to imagine a life with financial, mental, physical and spiritual peace. But don’t be fooled. Simplifying your life and living a ‘better life’ that is filled with purpose is just at your fingertips. And all it requires is taking control of your finances and your vital capacities of life.
Unfortunately, most people don’t know how to slow down long enough to take control of their own lives though. They continue on the treadmill and rat-race of life day in and day out – experiencing little joy and fulfillment with where and how they spend their time.
Credit debt is one of your primary problems and repaying it needs to be one of your key goals. This is actually the quickest method to financial independence. Developing a plan to pay off credit cards is crucial. It starts by slowly reducing the debt after which eventually eliminating it altogether.
Did you know over 80% of college students finish school with some credit debt? Which means that most people starting out in their working life will start with debt.
Unfortunately, most people just let it snowball from that point and credit cards become a way of life. This is especially true for people who demand instant gratification and subscribe to the “I’ve got to have it now” theory of life.
The first step to becoming debt-free is to avoid accumulating further debt. Don’t continue to use your credit cards while attempting to eliminate the debt! You’ll certainly fail.
It’s best to destroy all credit cards except one major card with the lowest interest rate.
Avoid the temptation to keep all your cards in your wallet where they can be easily accessed and quickly ‘swiped’ with the cash register to add even more debt. Keeping that ONE card for emergency expenses or other critical purchases will be enough.
But remember it takes commitment, determination, and persistence for this to work. We never said it would be easy.
But it’s possible and well worthwhile! .This article is one of a series of free articles we have produced for your enjoyment, we hope you enjoy it and if you do please send it on to your friends, we also welcome any comments.
