By Nick Anderson


Stop being broke and change your future for a new beginning being debt free. Chances are you may be someone who is struggling with too much debt and are ready for a change. It is possible to get rid of that mountain of debt and move on to a better debt free life. Get back to the basics of financial principles and save for a rainy day.

It is a basic financial principle to pay yourself first. The more out of every paycheck you can save the better. This is imperative to your financial health and your family. Start with only a few dollars a week and quickly watch it add up. You will not miss a few bucks and in time it adds up to a nice savings. During tax time, put away as much of your return as you can.

A savings is so important to be prepared for emergencies that come up as well as extra spending such as kids birthdays and the holidays. When you use some of your savings be sure to immediately replenish it by continuing to add to it regularly. You cannot ignore money issues because they only get worse if not handled as soon as possible.

A few years back banks were sending out loan and credit card applications to everyone with an address. The trouble with that was that many of those people couldn't really afford to get into debt. Since then banks have tightened up and it is not so easy to get a credit card anymore. Now is the time to clean up your debt and credit by spending wisely.

If something is not in your budget just don't do it. It is important to not overspend during this time and to make wise choices concerning your finances. While you are getting rid of your debt and building a savings, try not to eat out or go to the movies too much. Don't drive unless you have to and steer clear of shopping sprees at the mall.

Live within your means by not overspending. Many people spend more than they earn and are going over their budget every pay period. This drives them further into debt. If you can live below what you make you will always have enough plus a savings account.

Sacrifices will need to be made in order to get to a better debt free life that you deserve. Cutting costs and extras out is helpful but you also may need to get a second job for a while. Another option is to apply for a better paying job. Do not get discouraged as it will take time to make these positive changes in you're life. Believe that it is possible and know that others have done it so you can too.

Stop being broke and change your future for the better by changing your spending habits and living within your means. Start paying yourself first by saving a little every time you get paid. Create and live within a reasonable budget. Reward yourself every now and then but be prudent and pay down debt and save. Sacrifices will be necessary but well worth it as financial freedom beckons and is attainable.
