Default Re: I need help clearing up debts!

This is what most of the finace books advise.

1) Cut up those credit cards.

2) Make a budget.

3) Get rid of the non essentials. Do you really need state to state long distance, caller ID, call waiting, HBO and those $250 deductibles?

4) Start a savings account for emergencies.

5) Track you expenses

6) Avoid bank fees, late charges, buying items from stores with a no return policy or restock fees, ATM POS fees, etc.

7) Talk to your creditors.

I hope this helped.
