Debt in Focus: 7 Important Tips to Keep You out of Debt

Daisy · March 29, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Are you drowning in debt? Did you know that the average American has $38,000 in debt? Whether you’re looking to have your debt in focus or avoid it, this article will help you.

In this article, you’ll discover the top tips to keep you out of debt. Read on to discover these tips and tricks so you can have a more financially secure and promising future.

1. Side Hustles

No matter what your job is, do you have skills that others will pay for? There’s also the option of Airbnb or driving gigs such as Lyft. If you have several items in your home you’re looking to get rid of to stay out of debt, try selling them online.

Consider starting a blog if you enjoy writing. While it might feel overwhelming with a full-time job, personal matters, and side gigs, it’s a great way to pull yourself out of debt.

2. Limit Your Housing Expenses

When you’re house hunting, keep your debt and obligations in mind. The last thing you want to do is wind up in debt because you can’t afford your monthly payments. If you currently have a home, this is where the side gigs could come in for extra income.

3. Cancel Memberships

When you’re looking to pay off debt, you might ask yourself, who is Debthunch? A great way to help save money is to cancel any memberships you don’t need or rarely use.

Take a look at what subscriptions and memberships you currently have, how much you pay for them, and if you really need them.

4. Don’t Increase Your Budget

Whether you received your tax refund, got a raise, or a bonus, you don’t want to increase your budget. Instead of increasing your budget, place it into an account so it can gain interest.

When the money gains interest, not only are you saving that money, but you’re also increasing the amount of money in your account.

5. Pick One Debt

A great strategy to pay off debt is to choose one debt and fully focus on paying it off. Making a large payment to one debt is better than small payments to multiple debts.

While doing this, you’ll want to just pay the minimum due on your other debts.

6. Make Shopping Lists

Before you head to the store, plan ahead and write down everything you’ll need. Don’t deviate from that list and be tempted to buy items you don’t need.

7. Have an Emergency Fund

An emergency fund is just that, there in case of emergencies. Aim to have an emergency fund set up with 6-12 months of living expenses.

For a short period of time, work on having at least $1,000 in that account.

Keeping Your Debt in Focus

While keeping your debt in focus can feel overwhelming, it’s worth it to take these tips and apply them to finally have that financially secure future you’ve dreamed of.
