Avoid Consumer Debt: Put Your Credit Cards Under Lock And Key
Filed under: Finance
By James Copper
The best way for you to avoid consumer debt is to hide your credit cards. According to studies, credits are one of the main reasons why Americans accumulate thousands of consumer debts every year. Consumerism is very much alive in the country and the media is relentless when it comes to promoting all types of good and services.
Since credits care widely accepted in all types of establishments including those that are found online, a lot of people do not hesitate to purchase anything that caught their fancy. If you are one of those people who cannot control their spending, you better put that credit card of your under lock and key. The sooner you put a clamp on your spending habit, the better.
Buy Only What You NEED
Every week, different manufactures all over the world introduce new gadgets, clothing styles and other into the market. Every now and then we see different products being advertised on TV and on the net. These advertisements could be very persuasive that if you are not really very careful, you will end up being swept along. However, you dont really need to buy new things every week or even every month for that matter.
If you still have an MP3 which you bought a few months ago, there is really no point of buying an MP4 just because your friend, you officemate or the guy sitting beside you in the subway has it. Buy only the things that you need to avoid over spending. There is no point of accumulating hundreds of dollars in consumer debt simply because you want to have all the latest toys. Control your impulses. Never mind what the media has to say about being hip and cool, you will never feel hip and cool once your credit score starts crashing down. Think about all the headaches and sleepless nights you will have trying to figure out how to pay for your debts if you live beyond your means.
Consumer Debt Elimination
If you are already have a lot consumers debts, make a schedule of payments to help you determine how and when you will be able to clear yourself of debts. Take out all your credit card billing statements and evaluate them. In case you have more than three credits cards and all of these card are already near their limits, you might want to consider applying for debt consolidation and give up some of your credit cards. Always remember that it is easier to keep track of all your expenses if you only have two or three credit cards. Once you have your debts consolidated, you will only need to keep track of a single account and it will be easier for you to get things under control.
If you are afraid you simply cannot control yourself with credit cards, consider handing them over to a trusted family member. Instruct them to only give the cards back to you in an emergency situation. You will find that youll spend much less trying this trick.

Planning For Your Future And Wealth
By Jerry Leung
It is very important for us to plan for our future. Do you have any retirement plan? If not, you should try to plan it ahead before it is too late.
In fact, you need to have a plan if you need to build your wealth. You will need to do it step by step. It may take you more than 20 years to do so. However, at the end of the day it is worth spending the time and putting the effort. You can retire without worrying much about money. Otherwise you may need to work even in your 70s.
First of all, you will need to set some goals. Let us talk about what a goal is. For example, “I would like to become rich as soon as possible” is certainly not a realistic goal. You need to make your goal concrete and realistic. Saving $10000 in five years is certainly a very concrete goal.
You will know what you should do after you have set your goal. Taking the idea of saving $10000 in five years for example, you will need to save something like $167 a month if you would like to have $10000 after five year. Of course you will be ending up with more money if you can really save $167 a month since you will get some interest from your saving. From this you will know the importance of setting a concrete and realistic goal.
Another thing is that you need to find ways to make more money and pay off your debt. One of the ways to make more money is to get a part time job. This will probably be the easiest way for you to make more money. However, you may also consider some investment in order to make more money. For example, you may consider investing in the stock market in order to make more money.
In order to pay off your debt, you will also need to have a concrete plan to do it. If you know that you will be able to pay off your debt in three years when you repay $300 a month, you should do so. Determination is the most important if you want to pay off the debts. Otherwise there is no way for you to pay off all your debts.
It is not difficult to plan for your future. What is actually difficult is to put it into an action plan. Yet you have to fact it and do it if you would like to be financially free in the future.
