Helping you get out of Debt (Part Two)

Get out of debt

Table of Contents

In part one of this three part series of helping you get out of debt, we covered paying more on your credit card to help pay it off faster, spending less per month and targeting your most expensive debts first.

Buy Used or New to You Automobiles

An automobile loses between 15 to 20 per cent of its value each year, on average. One way to help save you and your family some money is to buy a used automobile. Buying a good quality used car, can help you save money and help pay off your debts faster.

One Car or Two

If your family has two or more automobiles, consider getting rid of one of them. If this is a possible option for you and your family, this can help free up some money each month into paying down debt faster. Granted having a car at your will and call can be useful, but this can be a costly expense per month or yearly, especially when those unexpected car problems arise and force you to dig in to your pockets to pay that extra expense.

Some alternatives to driving are car pooling, transit system, walking (if close enough), or cycling to work are a few possible options. The cost of ownership per car does add up each month, from gas, insurance and maintenance. Take this extra money and look at paying down your more expensive debts.

Groceries

A person’s grocery bill can quickly add up over the weeks. One way to save more on your monthly grocery bill is to stock up on groceries when there are sales. This is extremely helpful for non-perishable groceries and items that can be put in the freezer. Checking each week to see what items are on sale, can help you to stockpiling these sale items, and help to cut down on your grocery bill each week/month. Naturally there will be items such as milk as so on that can’t be stockpiled, but focusing on the items that can, will be helpful. Being a smart shopper can help in saving more.

From the moment I sat down in the office, I felt welcome and at ease. Grace Cuffaro was both friendly and highly informative. She is extremely knowledgeable and answered all of my questions in detail, making sure I understood before moving on. I was reassured throughout the process that I was making the right decision and that it was not uncommon nor anything to be ashamed of. I didn't expect my appointments to be such positive experiences, but that's exactly what they've been!

I was in a tough financial position and found myself searching for relief. I came across David Sklar & Associates page when doing my research on financial advice. The reviews were amazing, but I was concern because I didn’t know what to expect. I made the decision to set up a consultation and had the pleasure to meet with Jennifer Norton. Right from the beginning, she was attentive, knowledgeable, and pleasant to meet with. The experience was painless and very educational. Jennifer made sure I understood my choices, answered my questions, and concerns promptly, in person, over the phone and via email. I’ve been working with Jennifer for a couple months now and I am pleased that Jennifer is the manager handling my file. I would and have recommend Jennifer Norton, David Sklar & Associates to anyone in need of direction regarding finances.
