Debt Management
By: Clifton Tan
How do you know that you are in DEBT? How do you know that you are really in
deep DEBT? Do you think you need DEBT MANAGEMENT or DEBT CONSOLIDATION? This are
the questions that most professionals will ask you about. If not, you will ask
yourself this question. The true fact is that once you are interested even to
pop into this web page www.absoluteguys.com , most likely you are in debt and
you need advice on debt management or debt consolidation.
The truth is you are not alone, you do not need any high tech software to give
you a profound answer that you are in debt neither do you need to seek any
credit repair guru to tell you,"you are in debt." In this journey or articles
that I am about to introduce, you will find that the table of contents are not
named with different titles, they are just simply debt management and debt
consolidation part 1, 2, or 3; this is because you have to follow our program
right from the start and not jump straight into some chapters that interest you,
eg. go right into chapter 3 and skip chapter 1. That WON'T WORK! You have to
read all the chapters one by one.
But in order to go any further, you got to know this: no debt is too high for
you to conquer. It is not impossible for you to turn your situation around and
start living your life. No matter how dire the situation is, whether is a $2000
debt or a $500,000 debt, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. If you
feel like ending your life at this instance because you feel that you just
cannot get out of the hole, stop this moment and talk to someone about it, talk
to a debt management expert, someone that can response to your questions. Always
remember that you are not alone, there are more than 190 million Americans like
you that own a credit card and the average debt is $9000. And that just does not
include home loans and car loans, lots of people are living on debt and you are
not alone. And they don't send debtors to prisons, so snap out of it and brace
yourself up.
Okay, fasten your seat belts, here we go. The journey to becoming debt free
starts NOW! This is not a miracle pill that you take in and by the next day
everything will be back to normal. It is a journey of commitment. Ever been to
the gym, or going on a diet? The key to these success is commitment. You don't
go to the gym to bodybuild whenever you feel like to, or eat anything you like
when you are on a diet, you have a program to go through. And in order to
achieve results, you have to be committed to the program that is being layed
down.
So the first thing to do is CUT UP YOUR CREDIT CARD!. Yes, that's right, cut it
up. Don't do it tommorrow, don't do it next week, DO IT NOW! The reason why you
have to cut up your credit card is because only then you will stop incurring
more debts. You will never get out of debt if you continue to borrow, that is
continue to pay from your credit card. Cutting up your credit cards does not
mean closing your accounts, it is only plastics, you can reapply for a new card
again.
From now on, you will be living back in the 70's when credit card has not
appeared on this earth to lure your temptations. Everything you buy or eat or
even enjoy will be paid by CASH. In the beginning it will be difficult, b ut
once you get use to it, it's a breeze. So get use to it, you have to do
everything in cash till your debt is in control or probably you are more
prepared to use it wisely. We will teach you how to use your credit card more
wisely, the right way.
As the saying goes, you can't measure what you can't count, so to assess your
situation you need to dig out all your bills, receipts, statements, everything
that you owe and start totaling them up. I have provide you a simple form that
you can key in, download it from the end of this chapter. From the form you will
find the "Creditor's Name", "Amount Owed", "Monthly Installment"(the monthly
payment you are obligated to pay), "Interest" and "Due Date"(Monthly).
Now having said all this, you need to loosen up. As this is not a miracle as I
said earlier, yhou need time to work it out, you have to think long term. Keep
your eyes on the goal, it may take a few years, but by the time you emerge as a
conqueror of the mountain of debts, you are back in control of your finances.
