How I Got Out Of Credit Card Debt
I've never really been irresponsible with money, but it's so easy to get in trouble with credit cards. I knew it was time to get my finances in order the minute I got my first call from a collection agency telling me I was in delinquency. So I looked on the web for more info to find ways to fix my problem and I found some methods on how to handle the situation.
I got a hold of all of my statements to take a look at my interest rates. I realized that I hadn't been paying attention and my rates were sky-high, practically 30% in most cases. This was totally out of control. I realized a new dining room furniture set I'd just bought at a bargain was going to cost a whole lot more than the price I paid in the store. I had about six credit cards going, with combined debt of nearly $15,000.
One of the articles said the first step is to stop spending, and cut up your credit cards. So I sat down with a pair of scissors and went mad cutting those plastic cards to tiny pieces. I had a lot of fun and they were everywhere all over the floor. I had to get my dyson upright vacuum cleaner to clean it all up when I was finished.
Next I organized my debts in order of which ones had the highest and lowest balances. If you pay off the lowest balances first, you can snowball the effect of paying off your debts a lot quicker. So I did that, and in my very first month killed one debt. As time went by more and more credit cards were successfully paid off. By the end of year 3, I had only two cards left!
I still had a few thousand left to pay, so I called my creditors and asked them to lower my rates. It took a while but I finally got them to agree. All I had to do was ask, and my rates had dropped from almost 30% to only about 9%! Now it was going to be even easier to knock my debt out by reducing those finance fees.
Now I've learned how to spend wisely. If I can't pay with cash, I can't afford it. I still keep my cards a few cards open for emergencies and it also is helping to improve my credit rating, but I won't ever go back to the reckless spending like before.
Now life is virtually stress free without that cloud hanging over my head. I can rest easy in my full size loft bed every single night knowing my finances are in good shape.
