Paying Back Loans in the Recession

By Kurt

When times are hard, like they are for many in this recession, it can be difficult to imagine how you could even consider paying back your loans and getting out of debt. However, there might be things that you can do even if you feel that you have no spare money.

–        Stop getting in to more debt – it is very important to start off by not building up even more debts. Consider the ways that you get in to debt, whether they are credit cards, overdrafts, loans of whatever. You need to stop using these methods of paying for things so that you do not continue to get in to debt. It is no good paying off your overdraft if you build up debt on your credit card and so you need to firstly manage just using your income and nothing more.

Paying Back Loans

–        Assess your debts – this can be the scariest part of the process as you have to find out exactly how many debts you have. This includes everything from loans to mortgages, money you owe friends to credit cards. Look it all up and write it all down. You may find that it is not as bad as you imagined or that it is worse. However, doing it, is the first step in being able to pay back what you owe and have that freedom that you will have dreamt off.

–        Spend less money – telling someone to spend less money could seem silly. Many people feel that there is not a way that they can reduce the amount of money that they are spending. However, it is worth considering whether you really are spending the minimum amount. Consider every purchase that you make and whether it is something that you really need at the moment. You may be able to delay that purchase until you are clear of debt or you may not really need it at all.

–        Repay the dearest loan – it can be best to take  a look at the loans that you have and pay back the one that is costing you the most money, first. If you pay any spare money that you have in to that loan, then the costs of it will go down. It will become easier and easier to pay more back because you will be paying out less in the cost of it and eventually you will pay it all back and be able to work on the next one.

–        Repay the smallest loan – some people find that they feel more motivated when they pay back a loan in full and therefore target the smallest loan first. This is a more expensive way to pay back money, but it can be well worth it, if you feel that it will give you the motivation that you need.

–        Reward Yourself – it is important to make sure that you reward yourself every so often. Being as frugal as you can and paying back loans, can be very rewarding for some people. However, if you are used to spending lots of money and never thinking about how much you are spending, you may find it very difficult to get used to spending less. Therefore it can be worth treating yourself every so often to something that you have cut back on but really miss. This might be a coffee out, a take-away or a new piece of clothing. However, do keep it as a treat as you will appreciate it more and you will not overspend and get out of your new habits of paying off debt.

Causing a storm in the forex world is binary options (Binäre optionen), one of the latest crazes in online trading. By trading commodities, currencies or indices anyone is now able to make a healthy profit using the right trading strategies. While early adopters were skeptic of this new innovation at first, digital options trading has shown that it will stick around for a long time to come.

Not sure if you can handle a binary option deal or not? Ask yourself this: do I want to trade smarter, using the market to my advantage? Do I want to also have better control over when I trade and how I trade? If the answer to both questions is yes, you can definitely handle binary options.

Binary Options

Getting into this field of trading doesn’t take nearly as long as you might think. The premise is pretty straightforward. The option can either go up in the timeframe you specify, or it can go down in that same timeframe. If it goes down, you’re not out more money than what you put down anyway. If it goes up, you know exactly how much money you’re going to make. Having better control over how much you stand to gain is something that traders have desired for a very long time. What you must do from this point is make sure that you’re taking action. In other words, you need to jump in on all of the great binary options action that’s out there. [Read more…]

Controlling holiday spending

By Kurt

The holidays are a time when people can easily get into financial troubles. You want to give the best gifts you can to the people you love. Sometimes your desires outweigh your finances. Lots of people rely on credit cards to make ends meet during the holidays. Sadly, that can create a lot of troubles for people. Here are some questions to ask yourself before you buy another gift on your credit card:

Is last year paid for yet?

Some people are still paying for last year’s gift as the time comes to start buying again this year. If you haven’t paid for last year, don’t buy on credit this year. Stick to cash instead.

What’s your budget?

You have to know how much you can realistically afford to spend before you head out to the stores. Look over your finances and set a realistic budget with some flexibility built into it. Once you have the budget, stick to it.

Have a plan?

Before you head out to go shopping, spend the time to figure out what you are going to buy, where you will get it and what it will cost. Set up a route you will follow and stick to it. This is the easiest way to stick to a budget and stay out of trouble.

Forgotten anything?

As you set up a holiday budget, be sure to include everything. That doesn’t just mean gifts, but wrapping papers, food for guests, travel and costs for decorating. Include everything so that your spending doesn’t get out of line. Have someone close to you check over the list before you start. Often they will come up with something that you have forgotten.
