Additional tips to get out of debt

Once you have your debt elimination plan in place, there are a few more things that will help you get out of debt:

1- Seek help whenever possible. Don't be afraid to ask!

2- Develop a budget. We cannot stress this hard enough. You DO need to know exactly what your monthly expenses are. You can download a sample budget spreadsheet here (right-click, select "save target as", and download it to your computer).

3- Cut off (or, at least, cut down) any and all trivial expenses. Remember, the bigger your Power Payment, the sooner you will get out of debt. Before buying that gadget you are drooling over, ask yourself, "do I really need this, or can I get by with what I have?".

4- Pay your bills on time. Some credit cards will charge you between $30 and $50 as a "late payment fee". This is money you could be using to pay down your bills. Imagine this: 5 times in a year that you pay your bills late, and it could mean over $200 in late fees alone, not to mention the higher interest rate until its paid off.

5- Get (and study) the Transforming Debt into Wealth system, by John Cummuta. We think it's the most powerful way to pay off your debts. If you can afford the complete system, you will benefit tremendously from it. Another product from the same author that is less expensive is the Seminar Video, recorded live. Make sure you watch it several times, and take lots of notes. Please, do apply all he says. It will transform your life! One day you will look back to today and be thankful for following this system.

6- Try to get a second job or start a part-time business. The extra money (even if it's small) could be a HUGE help in your debt elimination plan. More and more people are starting an Internet business, since it can be an ideal part-time business. If you would like to learn more, the best resource we found is The Super Affiliate Handbook: How I Made $436,797 in One Year Selling Other People's Stuff Online. Outstanding book, it shows you step by step how to start your online business. You can download the book to your computer, and print it at Office Depot or Staples.

7- Change your mindset. Convince yourself that you deserve more. Read positive books, surround yourself with positive people, and avoid negative people like the plague!. Go through the Wealth Beyond Reason program. Study it, and put it into practice. Your life will begin to change within 30-60 days! This is, by far, the absolute BEST way to change your life in the shortest possible time. You will change ALL areas of your life, not just your finances. And once you have the right mindset, nothing can stop you. HIGHLY recommended. Also make sure you listen to the Experiential Meditation every day, it will literally transform your life!

8- Finally, TRACK YOUR PROGRESS! It is very easy to feel overwhelmed when you are drowning in debt, but just taking a look at the results you are getting will keep you on track. Just seeing how fast you are getting out of debt will be enough to regain your confidence!
