Shedding Debt

When dealing with unwanted debt and getting rid of it, you will need to be realistic. It may have built up very quickly, or accumulated little by little overtime. It will take time to start trimming it off, but with a proper plan and follow through, you can achieve your debt free goals!

While it can be quick and easy to build up debt quickly due to lines of credit, payday loans or credit cards, paying these off will take some planning, and time.

Start Tracking All of your Spending

On a monthly basis, you will need to jot down everything you have been spending. Start by creating a spreadsheet so you can have everything allotted for, including household expenses. Also, try going back a few months of expenses, gather up what data you can. Once you have enough expenses captured, you can start to see what areas you are overspending, and areas you can trim or cut all together.

Getting out of Debt

Once you have listed all your spending habits, and noted the areas you need to work on, see about the areas you can cut/trim. Think about ways to increase your monthly income (side job/overtime).

Creating a monthly plan, and having your whole family stick to this is important. Having monthly budgets for each area allotted for, and having your family follow this will help teach your kids how to better manage money and help be prepared for the future.

Saving for the Future

The faster you can pay down your debts, the more you can invest into your future. When paying down your debts and credit cards, look to pay more than the minimum amount as this will help you pay down your debt faster. Look at paying down the higher interest rate cards faster. When one debt or credit card is paid off, you can then increase the payment to the next debt, or you can also choose to save a bit more for an emergency fund or savings.

Staying Debt Free

The lessons learned from shedding that debt and keeping the excess debt off should be ongoing. Always keep in check your monthly income level, and your monthly expenditures.

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.
