For starters, get
financial knowledge that we so desperately need to stop
growing cycle of debt building, and start eliminating
troublesome debts that consume our paychecks month after month. Fortunately, this knowledge is not that hard for us to find, if we know where to look. There are non-profit organizations advertising on television and radio that are devoted to helping people consolidate there debts, and this is a start. Other sources require a purchase of there educational media or encourage membership in their organization for a nominal fee, and
information provided can be more than worth
small investments if
teachings are taken seriously and applied to one's real life budget.
Maybe
solution is literally as simple as
way one teacher on
subject puts it: "If you don't want to make
hole that you've dug for yourself any bigger, then stop digging!" Sure, this may mean having to do without some of
latest technological gadgets, or having to discipline yourself into putting a small amount of
monthly paycheck into a savings account. But, any step that will allow us to keep more of
money we've worked so hard for is a step in
right direction. Then, comes
focus on eliminating
burdensome debts that are already weighing us down. And, it may take awhile. But, isn't
freedom to do what we want with our money worth
effort and time?
After freeing ourselves from
obligations to creditors and banks,
money once spent on debts needs to go somewhere. Maybe it's now time to consider investing this money into stocks or real estate or, possibly, even a business that in time will generate a positive return on our money. This, too, will require some education into
what and how of making wise investments. But,
information is as readily at hand for those who are ready as
solutions to relieving debt.
Then, comes
need to assure ourselves that we won't fall back into
monthly drag of giving away our money to
advertisers that so diligently entice our attention. Resisting
urge to buy into costly items is one way of dealing with this. But, in a land of prosperity such as ours, is it really necessary to live frugally? There may be yet another way. How about buying
assets that will generate an income that we can then spend on these desired possessions?
Not necessarily a novel or new concept, but.... How many of us struggling monthly with debts ever considered
possibility that we really have
opportunity to reach this point? Regardless our present status in life, what can we really achieve with just a little awareness, thoughtful planning, and
knowledge of what to do and when to do it? For those who are seriously looking, there is a way out of debt. And, though each person's situation may be slightly different,
steps that are outline above have been used and proven to be effective by countless individuals who live financially happy lives. Just check out their ads!
