I once had a $8000 credit card debt and was making only the minimum payments on it. I realized if i continued doing this, I would never be debt free for many many years to come. I therefore decided to reduce this debt myself by cutting down on my expenses and paying off the original balance. One of the websites that also helped me was http://www.3debtconsolidation.com/diy-debt-reduction.html the Do It Yourself Debt Reduction procedure.<BR/><BR/>Steps 1 and 2 are basic; you budget your monthly expenses and lower them totally by cutting down on useless expenses (such as 2 coffees every day, make your own coffee!)<BR/><BR/>Then in Step 3, you "Pay Off Debt with Highest Annual Percentage Rate (APR)" which in my case was the $8000 credit card debt for which i was paying 18% APR.<BR/>Note: At this point, it is also very crucial that you are not racking up more credit card debt and NOT putting that piece of plastic to make more purchases... Use your debit or cash only!Abdulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12882815001155345711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26277603.post-45306686022758504612007-03-23T11:33:00.000-05:002007-03-23T11:33:00.000-05:00That's huge, dollface, and I'm big-time proud of you for deep-sixing your debt and telling the plastic companies to take a hike.

If you can do that you can manage everything else.

My name is Marcus Henry, and we (you and your husband and me and my wife) are on the same paths. I was in DC on Sunday looking some properties to purchase. You can check out my blog at <BR/>http://maddviper.blogspot.com. I am havving the hardest time getting over the fear of it all. Not debt, because the only debt I have is my motorcycle, but moreso investing. I have stock in three companies, and they seem to be doing okay...(except for TIVO...I had to look) Where do you guys get support for you ventures and progression. Do you have any suggestions?Marcushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.com
