Helping you get out of Debt (Part Three)

Get out of debt

Table of Contents

In part three of our series on helping you get out of debt, we look at ways to gain extra money per month, knowing when not to spend, and refinancing.

Overtime or Second Job

When money is tight, and your debts are not getting paid off fast enough, consider working extra overtime (if this option is available) or look at getting a second part time job. Using this extra income and focusing it towards paying down the debt will go a long way. Find some options where you can make some extra money per week/month. See what hobbies you can use to your advantage and start a side business. Check with http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/lifeevents/business.shtml regarding starting a business for some helpful tips.

Knowing when and when not to spend

Tracking all of your expenses each month, to see where all of your money is going is extremely important. This is an important task for you and your partner. When looking back at your expenses and spending patterns for the past few months, this can give you some extra insight into where your money has been going.

See our articles on Follow the money  and breaking bad spending habits . If getting a second job was not a possible option, then going over your spending habits can work towards freeing up enough money that can go towards your debt, and being debt free.

Refinancing

Mortgage refinancing is the procedure of changing your mortgage with a new mortgage, usually with altered terms than your first mortgage. Refinancing your mortgage can be an option for consideration. First you would need to see the penalties involved and calculate if refinancing is a suitable option for your family or not. If refinancing is an option for you, then this can help free up some money, and help you pay down your debts faster.

If the interest rate on the new mortgage is considerably less than the first mortgage, then the homeowner can save substantial money, and thus have a lower monthly payment. You will need to review this option in detail before considering this, including all the advantages and disadvantages.

Christine Sylver was very helpful to my situation. No question asked, she went above and beyond just to give me the options that I need to solve my problems. She explained and made me understand my options. Thank you Christine! Everything was done in a week. Regards, to Richard Sklar for explaining everything further to me. 😊

I was blown away by how kind and empathetic Christine and David were. I came into the process expecting to feel embarrassed, but they were so helpful and unquestionably supportive, they made the whole experience a positive thing. On top of that, Christine found a solution for me that was better than I ever could have imagined. I highly recommend Christine, David, and colleagues to anyone.

I had the pleasure of working with Jackie and she made the experience very easy and was very honest which I appreciated as I was extremely nervous to go through with the process. Any questions or concerns I've had after our meetings were answered no problems and although it's been a few weeks I can honestly say I've never felt so stress-free. Very thankful for Jackie.

My mother told me about this firm because they helped resolve her situation nearly 25 years ago. I had the pleasure of working with Christine Sylver. I should’ve done this years ago but I am where I am and it is what it is. Extremely courteous, professional and understanding. I hope to never need their services again but they would be my first call! A+
