5th January 2024

Ready to kick debt to the curb? We’ve got your back! Let’s break down the steps to make this the year you say goodbye to those money worries.

  1. List Your Debts:

First things first, let’s face those debts. Make a list of everything you owe, like credit cards, loans, or anything else. Knowing what you’re dealing with is step one to taking control.

  1. Figure Out What You Can Pay:

Now, let’s talk budget. Look at how much money comes in and where it goes out. Find spots where you can cut back a bit and put that money towards paying off your debts. Building a plan you can stick to is the key to success.

  1. Tackling Multiple Debts:

Snowball Method for Debts Under £5,000: Got a bunch of debts under £5,000? Start with the smallest one. Pay it off first, then use that momentum to tackle the next one. It’s like a snowball getting bigger as it rolls downhill!

Debt Avalanche for Debts Over £5,000: If your debts are bigger (over £5,000), focus on the ones with the highest interest rates first. This way, you pay less overall interest and speed up your journey to debt-free living.

Debt Consolidation for Debts Over £10,000: Big debts? Consider bringing them together into one manageable loan or plan. It simplifies things, and you might get a lower interest rate.

  1. Learn About Money:

Knowledge is power! Dive into books, online courses, or financial blogs. Understanding budgeting, investing, and personal finance will boost your confidence on this financial adventure.
