| If
a person finds himself struggling financially there is really
no need to continue to labour with all the debts as there are
solutions available.
The main
trouble with debt is usually simply having too many bits and
pieces of debt scattered all over the place making it a constant
struggle to even remember when all the loans, credit cards,
etc.should be paid each month.
We are
constantly surrounded by advertisements on billboards, television
and the press, encouraging us to buy a shiny new car, some
new furniture such as sofas and fitted bedroom furniture,
garden furniture and so on.
The car
advert made the car look so desirable that it made you want
it so much that you went out the very next weekend to buy
it and funded it with hire purchase with your old car paying
the deposit.
The press
is packed with adverts for all sorts of exotic holidays including
cruises15,000 or more per person, and the adverts look so
enticing with the magnificent cabins with balconies and ensuite
facitities in addition to comfortable seating areas that make
many go on trips that they cannot comfortably afford and for
which they take out bank loans to pay for.
You look
at the advert in the glossy magazine and see a sauna with
a beautiful looking girl in it and you imagine that if you
too had the same sauna you would acquire the beauty of this
exquisite looking creature, and you decide there and then
to phone the company to buy the same sauna, at the same time
enquiring about a loan to fund the purchase, and even although
the interest rate quoted is about 20% you happily proceed.
Before
you know it you are knee deep in debt and even if have a high
salary and can make all the repayments relatively easily every
month, you are constantly juggling your finances.
It is
absolutely futile, as well as unnecessary, to go on in this
way as there is a way to make monetary management much more
simple while at the same time saving money, and this is by
the magic little life altering expression called debt consolidation.
Debt consolidation
is when you total up all the balances of your credit cards,
loans, etc. to ascertain the total of your debts in order
to find out exactly how much of a debt consolidation loan
that you require.
Clarify
how much you are paying for these debts50,000 is costing each
month by taking the monthly payment for each loan into account
and calculating the credit cards at 3% of the outstanding
balance, as this is the minimum payment required each month.
The amount
that you are paying out each month will astound you.
Having
decided the amount of debt consolidation, the next step is
to obtain quotations for debt consolidation loans and it is
better to approach a whole of the market remortgage broker,
secured loan broker or independent financial adviser who all
deal with all remortgage and secured loan products, unlike
your own bank or mortgage lender who only sell their own products.
The broker
will gladly provide you with free no obligation quotations
for remortgages and secured homeowner loans, and the quotations
will be a fraction of what your debts are costing now, with
secured loans available from only 9% and remortgages from
less than 2%.
Debt consolidation
could prove to be the best two words ever as you now have
one low payment to make each month instead of the number previously.
