The first thing to do is to consolidate all outstanding debt if possible. Get all the credit card debt and see if contacting the credit card company and paying at least ten dollars more than the minimum will help to relieve the outlandish interest charged on the principle.
The second thing to do is to establish and adhere to a budget. Plan every activity and plan every dime that is spent for activities so that it is no surprise. Learn to live on less. Eat out less often. Eating out is a major expense that can cause major debt in more than one way. The last thing to do is to try to curtail all unnecessary expenses like cable, internet and other “luxuries” to a bare minimum. Cell phones should be a bare minimum expense. Try to spend money on only what is needed and not what is a desire. These tips can help with debt consolidation and decrease debt also.
