4 ways to take control of your financial situation
1. Assess the situation:
Start by calculating all your debt. Review your income, expenses, and savings to get a clear picture of where you stand financially.
2. Review your budget:
Take a close look at your budget, which is simply your spending plan. Identify areas where you can reduce expenses or reallocate funds to make room for higher debt repayments. It’s important to prioritise essential expenses and consider cutting back on your non-essential spending. Monitor and adjust: Keep a close eye on your financial progress and adjust it as needed. Stay proactive in managing your debt. Assess your budget regularly and use any available extra money to reduce your debt. Every rand you save can go a long way.
3. Becoming debt free:
Once your financial situation improves you may find yourself with a little extra cash, use this to start your journey to being debt free.
4. Low hanging fruit:
If you have some debt that is almost paid up, why not pay these debts off first.
- Rank your rates: Consider paying your extra funds into your debt that charges the highest interest rate before paying extra into those longer-term debts. e.g., pay off your personal loan which charges a high interest rate before paying extra money into you home loan which is normally one of your lowest rates.
- Make your extra money work for you: If you have paid off a debt, don’t consider that extra cash as extra spending money. Rather take what you were paying off on those settled debts and add that to the payment of the next debt in your hit list. Before you know it, you will be reducing your debt at a lightning-fast pace and be well on your way to being debt free.
Remember: Taking these steps and staying on top of your finances can make a real difference in easing the burden and getting your financial situation back on track and staying on track. You’ve got this!
