When credit is readily available to all, it is very easy to spend
more money than you make. It is so easy to just buy what you want and
worry about it later. As credit gets easier to obtain each year, it is
reasonable to expect that debt will increase each year. But the farther
in debt you get, the less freedom you seem to have to do the things you
want to do. Do you really want all of your earnings to go to credit card
bills? If you're patient, you can get out of debt, stay out of debt,
and still get the things you buy now in due time.
It gets scary when cash becomes scarce. It should be a warning sign when your total credit debt goes up in three consecutive months. But for many people this is just a routine part of life. You would be surprised how much more you can buy when you aren't spending money on interest.
You need to find a way to spend less each month than your income. There are many things we buy that either we don't need, or that could wait a few months or a few years. You already have so much stuff it is beginning to pile up now. You probably spend hours looking for things because you have so many things to look through. You may even be thinking you need to pay for monthly storage costs on the things you've bought. Do you really need to buy more now? On the contrary, get on eBay or do a garage sale and lets get some cash out of the stuff you've bought months or years ago and haven't used in a long time if ever.
Interest can overwhelm you with debt. What you buy now you will have to pay the price marked, plus state sales taxes, plus credit card interest as long as you're in debt. What you buy when you become debt free will only cost the price marked on the price tag plus state sales tax.
If things get too far out of hand, you may need to go with a bill consolidation service or talk to a financial counselor or financial advisor about how to get debt free. Debt is a common problem, so there is a lot of information and knowledge available for helping people getting out of debt. Take advantage of any resources available to you to learn more about how to get debt free. Take a look around the Web at the least to learn about this problem and how others are dealing with it. It is time to finally become debt free.
