Tips to Take Control of Credit Card Debt
Many people may choose to ignore how much they are throwing away in credit card interest, and how long it will actually take to pay off their debt. But committing yourself to getting out of debt can save you a lot of money over time.
The following example shows how much you can save by increasing your monthly payments. Of course, this assumes that you don't rack up more debt along the way.
Paying Down Credit Card Debt
Here are some tips to get your debt under control.
1. Know How Much You're Spending
Creating and sticking to a budget takes discipline, but it's the best way to watch what you're spending while setting something aside for savings.
2. Stop Racking Up More Debt
Avoid charging more than you can pay off each month. Put the credit cards away if you have to.
3. Save for a Rainy Day
If you don't have an emergency fund to cover at least three months of basic expenses, you should save money and pay off your debt at the same time. By having cash on hand to pay for emergencies, such as car repairs or a job layoff, you'll be less likely to sink further into debt.
4. Consolidate to Lower Interest
Transfer your high-interest rate debt to a low-rate card. Look for low rates on the life of a balance transfer so you don't have to worry about playing the transfer game every year. Cut up the other cards and close the accounts.
