Debt is a shackle around your ankle. You cannot run, jump, or fly if you are dragging a ball and chain.
Here is How to Manage Debt and Become Debt-Free Faster.
1. The Snowball Method (Psychological)
List your debts from smallest to largest using balance. Pay off the smallest one first (e.g., $500). Ignore the interest rates.
When you kill that first debt, you get a dopamine hit. You feel powerful. Then you attack the next one. It builds momentum.
2. The Avalanche Method (Mathematical)
List your debts by Interest Rate (Highest to Lowest). Pay off the 25% credit card first. This saves you the most money in the long run.
3. Call Your Bank
Call them and say: “I am struggling to make payments. Can you lower my interest rate?”
Often, they will say yes. They would rather get some money than no money. It takes 10 minutes.
Kiran’s Take: Sell Everything
Look around your room. Do you need that guitar you never play? That second TV?
Sell it on eBay. Take that $200 and throw it at the debt. It is a war. Use every weapon you have.
Conclusion
Being debt-free is better than being rich. The peace of mind is priceless.
