If you have found yourself in a position where you are in serious debt and cannot think of a way out of the situation, then take a few minutes to read these few tips. Some may seem obvious but do put them into practise as they will help.I am assuming that you are in a situation whereby your income for example; is ?2,500 per month and your expenditure is ?3,500. This is not a good position to find oneself in. A better position would be if you were earning ?2,500 per month and your expenditure was only ?1,800!!It is so easy to despair when you encounter your first financial crisis. You're not alone. Many people face a financial crisis some time in their lives.
Whether the crisis is caused by personal or family illness, the loss of a job, or overspending, it can seem overwhelming. But often, it can be overcome. The important thing to bear in mind is, not to panic!We have all done it. We have all succumbed to the temptation of freely available credit. We have all signed on the dotted line for 6202 bearing items based purely on self- gratification only to regret the decision at a later date. Of course, once it starts it tends to spiral out of control and you then find yourself in this current predicament.The first thing you have to do is take stock of your debt. At this point you should be very realistic with yourself and itemise every expense no matter how trivial it may seem. Most people fail at this hurdle because they lie to themselves about the expenditure.
They conveniently forget about certain items, make excuses about other bills or blame the problem onto someone else. Anything in fact, except facing up to the reality check. I must stress again, that in order to stop the downward spiral of debt you must be brutal in your approach. If you really cannot face the breakdown of your expenses then get someone you know to help you.The most obvious first step is to prepare a budget and although it may not be everyone's idea of fun it is nevertheless necessary if you are to take the first step towards overcoming your financial situation.
Have you seriously considered preparing a budget? Not just a mental note but a written exercise taking a long, cold, hard and truthful look at your predicament.It may sound a very obvious statement to make but the first step toward taking control of your financial situation, is to do a realistic assessment of how much money you earn and how much money you spend. The operative word here being "realistic."
