How Do I Shake An Ugly Credit Card Monthly Payment

Written by ady on December 15, 2008 – 3:20 am -

If you truly want to get rid of your ugly monthly card payment, you have to begin today.You might be one that likes to hide from your debt thinking it will go away.

Whatever you are thinking, you can break free from the old bags of debt hanging around your neck.

First, take a good look at the credit cards you have applied for and for goodness sake, don’t apply for any extra!  You want to get rid of your debt, so throw away those enticing zero percent down card offers as soon as they land in your mailbox.  They are a trap waiting to catch you and your spending moods.

Secondly, put away your credit card until you have an emergency - a true emergency.Don’t let yourself talk yourself into buying things you don’t need.  If you put your credit card away, really away instead of in your pocketbook, you will be less likely to pull it out on the spur of the moment.

Third, don’t borrow from Peter to pay Paul.Don’t be one of the people that gets caught up in this vicious cycle.  You will never get out of a hole if you do this. 

Fourth, start cutting.  I mean seriously cutting your expenses to the bone until you see some serious process.  Set a goal for yourself for the short-term and the long-term.  For example, tell yourself that you are going to add one hundred dollars to your credit card payment this month and do it.  You will be amazed at how good you will feel just taking this first step to being debt-free.
