Yeah, good advice here.
Another thing that’s important though is to make sure that you save where possible, I mean, what’s the point not shoppng around properly for loans and credit cards, you need to know where to get the best deals so you’re not ripped off.
April 3, 2010 at 4:32 amAnther good reason to pay off the lower balance credit cards first is it will give you an incentive to keep going!!! You will see that you have paid one off and it is over!! Then you can add the money you were paying on that card to the others and just keep whittling them down until they are all paid off…God willing nothing else gets in the way.

April 3, 2010 at 4:58 amI used to have a lot of problems with debt, but sites like
theinternetcaschow.blogspot,com helped me raise that little bit extra each month.

Sometimes when you work for your school they give you some kind of discount on tuition, might want to look into that.
As far as your credit card debt, do you have a part-time job? Do you have family or relatives that can pay off your credit card debt and pay them back a little at a time?
You should cut up your credit card for now so you’re not tempted into using it. Pay back your school first so they don’t kick you out.

April 3, 2010 at 7:40 amGreat advice on paying the lowest balances first. That’s EXACTLY what I did with my cards. I’ve heard that by sending in the payment on a paticular day or week, you can actually save from paying dubble interest or something in that mattter. Is this true and if so what is this all about? I appreciate any advice.
April 3, 2010 at 7:46 amTrash your credit rating NOW then by the time you are 30 you will have a lot of money because u did’nt pay anyone interest .
April 3, 2010 at 9:00 amI’m sure you’re aware that with all the different systems and programs available on the internet you have to be very careful who you choose to sign up with and ultimately place your trust in. The large number of scams make it even harder to make the right decision nowadays.

Great video! You spoke the words of truth in your first couple of sentences. While the banks were a huge part of the problem of the recession, the main problem that the people caused was paying for what they couldn’t afford. This applies to credit cards and purchasing large houses that people couldn’t afford.
