Debt

Judicious, consistent debt management is one of the most positive actions a woman can undertake. The majority of adult consumers now carry some type of debt. This may be an education loan, a home mortgage, or one or two credit cards. Debt is important to carry to establish a credit rating. The New Savvy shows how debt doesn’t have to be a bad thing and even describes how to keep aggressive debt collectors off your back. Managing your debt properly is the key to keeping more money in your pocket long-term. Debt is a necessary element of a productive financial plan. A current credit rating is essential to prove to potential lenders that you have made good on past debt pay-offs. To establish a credit rating, experience as a debtor is a must. Look at this way: your ability in the future to be credit-approved for that home loan, start-up business loan or kitchen appliance financing depends on whether you’ve made entirely unrelated past monthly credit card payments on a timely basis. So don’t circumvent debt completely – it is a useful part of personal money management. This guide to debt management and solutions describes the difference between “good debts” and “bad debts”. Since no one can avoid becoming a debtor, it pays to concentrate on accruing good debt and paying off bad debt. Proper planning – including creating a realistic income/expense budget, prioritising individual debts and creating a timeline reflecting reasonable points at which principal can be repaid – can make all the difference in saving you additional high-rate interest charges or overdue fees.
