Some Financial Moves to Make Before New Year's Eve
Make a Plan to Get Out of Debt
You may not be able to get out of debt between now and the end of the holiday season but you can set yourself up now so you'll be debt-free very soon. Of course the first step is to watch your spending over the holidays. Don't overdo it. That only makes it harder to solve your debt situation.
Create a system to eliminate debt by first consolidating and refinancing to the lowest possible interest rate. Once you do that, put all the muscle (and money) you can towards paying off the highest cost debt you have and make the minimum payments towards other credit card balances. As you pay off your most expensive debt continue to keep your debt payments as high as possible towards the next highest-cost debt. Repeat this process until you are debt-free. Believe me it won't take that long. But you won't ever be done if you don't start. Why not begin the process of lowering your cost of credit card debt today?
