How to Easily Pay Off Your Debts, No Matter How Many Times You've Failed

By Sean Payne

A large number of people who are currently in debt have tried at least once to pay off their debts. Many of them have tried several times. Unfortunately, most of them have failed, ending up even deeper in debt than before.

What causes this? Why do they end up accumulating more and more debt? The answer can be found in the methods that they use to try to get out of debt. Those people who use additional loans to get out of debt are only temporarily fixing the problem. Debt reduction loans might work for a while, but eventually the habits that caused the problem with debt in the first place will sabotage them.

The best answer to the problem is to correct the underlying habitual behaviors that create the problem of debt. The easiest way to accomplish this is to use a debt payoff plan that won't let you continue in your overspending ways.

What are the steps of the best plan for getting out of debt and avoiding bad habits?

The first step is to create a buffer between you and going into additional debt. When you're stretched really thin financially, even a small financial emergency can make you go back to using debt. What do I mean by a buffer? I mean a small amount of savings, somewhere between $500 and $1000, depending on your situation. It should be enough to fix your car if it breaks, pay the plumber if a pipe bursts, or pay the bills if your paycheck is late or too small.

The second step is to incur no new debt. That means no debt consolidation loans, no second mortgages, or any other kind of loan. People who take out second mortgages in an effort to pay off credit card debt are substituting a secured loan for an unsecured debt. The problem with that it is that if you can't pay off your debt, you lose your house.

The third step is to make a plan to pay off all your debts. Realize that the order in which you pay off your debts can make a huge difference. If you do it wrong, you're at risk of losing your motivation to get out of debt. Do it right, and you'll pay off your debts quickly while becoming more and more enthusiastic about getting out of debt.

The next step is to work your plan. The best way to accomplish this is to make your debt repayment plan automatic. One way to do this is to use your bank's automatic bill payment service (most banks offer this service). One you set up this service, it will keep you from having to pay late fees, since your bills will be paid on time, every time. Most banks don't charge for their bill payment service, so this is a must-do item if you really want to pay off your debts.

The final step is to stick to your plan. After a while, you will have developed a little bit of momentum, and this will become easier. Once again, choosing the correct debt repayment plan can make a huge difference.

That's it: Now you know how to pay off your debts even if you have failed a dozen times. All you need is the correct approach. - 23200
