It is prudent to eliminate credit card debt in any economic climate, but in the current United States recession, it is vital! Not since the Great Depression, has the United States economy been in such a shaky state. Everyone is feeling the winds of change, regardless of their financial standing. People are becoming more conservative and cautious with their money and financial planning.
People who are already in a less than desirable financial condition have even more challenges to meet than others. It is hard to make any positive, future-oriented decisions when you are “right up against it”, so to speak. Sometimes, saving for security sake is basically impossible.
So, what does one do to prepare for the unknown future? The best advice for someone in this situation, mutually endorsed by most experts, is to work from the other end of things. If you can’t save money, try to reduce your obligations. There are some things you can reduce immediately, such as subscriptions, entertainment expenses, and other non-essentials in your budget.
The next area of attack is your credit card bills. Of course, you want to avoid using them if at all possible. Don’t charge new items on them, unless absolutely necessary. You also need to begin paying more than the minimum payment required each month, even if it is not a whole lot more than the payment.
You need to develop a plan to eliminate credit card debt immediately. Decide which card you will chisel away on first, working toward paying it off. Then you can move on to the next card!
