In the last post we looked at what debt is,now we understand that I’m going to talk about why people get into debt in the first place and with that in mind lets get started.Let’s take a simple example; you do not have enough money and you want to live, you need food, clothes… this is life! Serious reasons can be related to circumstances changes, you lost your job, health problems and you cannot afford to pay for the treatments etc so you start to borrow money and end up in debt.

There are hundreds of reasons to get into debt. But most people do not use debts to their advantage.

People suffer lot of troubles with debts mainly because it is easy to borrow. Also people are sometimes fooled. For example some credit cards do not offer interest rate for a limited time but when that period is over, logically speaking you end up paying double the main rate.

Another very frequent reason about falling into debts, people especially young, pretend or believe that they are managing their debts in the good way by paying the minimum amount every month without recognizing that paying the minimum leads to years and years to pay off a small amount that can be paid in few months.

Thus, the aim of this Blog is to show how to manage and create a debt reduction plan and become debt free.

The above is by no means an exhaustive list you may have lost your job, been made redundant, marriage break up, divorce and many more besides

Take this advice, do not ignore debts, it will only get much worse, much worse. I use to ignore my debts, thinking that a magical solution would appear tomorrow.

Well, tomorrow always came and went but no magical solution appeared.
