How to get out of debt

During my last discussion, I emphasized the ease with which we can fall into debt if we live beyond our means. This is particularly problematic because it leaves us unable to cope with unexpected emergencies, forcing us to borrow money even before they occur. It's possible that you may already be in debt because you need money to maintain a certain lifestyle that you cannot actually afford. In this situation, people may borrow you under the mistaken impression that you are wealthy, when in reality you are merely trying to project a false image.

In my previous post, I discussed the significant impact debt can have on our lives. Without a proper plan, it can become a real problem that's hard to eliminate. In this post, I'll be sharing the simple steps that can help you overcome these issues. While some of you might already know these steps, the key is to implement them effectively. The first step I'd like to emphasize today is taking control of our finances. We all know the importance of saving money, but not everyone practices it.

Put away 10-20% can be very effective and it prepares us for opportunities.

Saving money is a practice that has been around for ages. However, many people avoid it as they feel it'll prevent them from living life to the fullest. Unfortunately, life doesn't always go as planned. Emergencies such as health issues may arise, and without savings, it can be hard to handle them. Additionally, savings can help us seize opportunities that come our way. Often, these opportunities require money to take advantage of. Having savings makes it easier to capitalize on them. While there are many benefits to saving money, how can we do it without sacrificing life's pleasures?

Think longterm

You can start saving even if you are in debt, you just have to make a proper plan, and the first thing you have to do is to set aside part of your income, depending on how comfortable it is for you, but it's important to keep at least 20% of your earnings but if you are in debt it is important to set aside 30% of your monthly earnings, which you will divide into two 20% into your savings and 10% into paying the debts you owe. You can easily achieve this by thinking long term because cutting out 10% to 20% of your any might not seem much, but think about it in 10 years, it would have grown significantly.

Cut off what you don't need and focus on what you need.

I know some of us will be thinking that the money I earned is not even enough. I will now set 20% aside, how can this be possible? But the truth is when we are earning less, we actually survive, and even when we are earning much, we still find it difficult to survive. The problem is not about what we are earning, it's about the kind of lifestyle we are creating for ourselves. The more we earn, the more we raise our liabilities, which makes it very difficult for us to save. But if we can cut what we don't need and focus on our needs alone, it will be easy for us to go into savings These are the simple terms steps I know that can get us out of debt and more into savings. consider adjusting your expenses and only spending a portion of your income, perhaps 70-80%. This will allow you to enjoy your life while also saving money. If you make a plan and stick to it, you will see positive changes in your financial situation in no time.
