1. How to Make More Money to Reduce Debt Faster
Besides reducing your spending and making the most of the money that you
earn the other way that you can reduce debt faster is to make more money.
Whether you are self employed or work for a wage you should be looking at
ways to work longer hours where possible to earn more money. There are two
opportunities to get ahead when doing this.
Firstly, when you increase income, it can go directly towards reducing debt
and by doing that you will be reducing the interest you will be paying on that
debt and secondly there is the added benefit of the fact that you be either too
busy or too tired to spend money elsewhere.
Even if it is only for a short term, the extra income that you will earn that you
mark off against your debt can have a huge impact on the time that it will take
you to reduce and eliminate your loans.
You might be able to refinance some of your loans for a shorter term by being
able to make bigger monthly payments.
When you earn more cash, the additional money gives you more control to
budget better and to make the most of discount opportunities and interest
rebates for early repayments of loans.
