Debt Elimination using a Debt Elimination Plan
Debt Elimination - Will you tackle it or ignore it?
You go to the mail box and scan - a couple fliers (nah), your magazine subscription (yes!) and bills (groan). Every month the bills show up and as you sigh and take out your check book you wonder if you will ever be free.
Each month you pay the minimums and although you KNOW you've got a handle on it - you are not charging your credit card or accumulating new debts anymore - it seems that you will be paying the minimum fees forever.
Did you know that HOW you pay your debts can affect how soon you will achieve your goal of debt elimination - even if you keep paying the same amount for debt every month? Of course you might be able to get a consolidation loan, but if you're not eligible or are not interested then there are several other things you can do.
It's not always the easiest to figure out the mathematics, but first of all you must have a Debt Elimination Plan; provided you are still in regular employment, there are four steps to quicker debt elimination - guaranteed:
It is a worthwhile goal, that of total debt elimination. Seeing that goal come sooner and teaching yourself discipline sets you up for a brighter financial future. You OWE yourself that!

It's not always the easiest to figure out the mathematics, but first of all you must have a Debt Elimination Plan; provided you are still in regular employment, there are four steps to quicker debt elimination - guaranteed:
- Create a list.
- Small bills first.
- Move the payments along.
- Save the cash!
List your smallest debts first followed by your largest high-interest debts (credit card) and then your largest low-interest debts (Lines of credit and taxes).
Plan to pay the minimums on all debts with these goals in mind:
They may not be the highest interest, but every bill that you are paying some interest on means you are usually only paying minimal amounts on the principal. Multiple debts are also a sure way to bring your spirits down. Paying off small debts first is a quick way to start checking them off - and freeing your mind.
When one debt is paid, add the funds to the next debt. For example, say you're making $75 payments to a small debt. When the debt is cleared add the $75 to the next debt on your list. If the next debt had a minimum payment of $100, you will now pay $175 until it is paid off. When that one is finished, take the $175 and add it to the next payment and so on.
Don't forget that when you have achieved debt elimination using your debt elimination plan, you have set yourself up for a better financial future. The best way to take advantage of your new situation is to use all the money you were spending on debts and start investing or saving it every month.
It is a worthwhile goal, that of total debt elimination. Seeing that goal come sooner and teaching yourself discipline sets you up for a brighter financial future. You OWE yourself that!
