Thanks for the tips! Keeping track is essentially important to pay off all your debts. Personally I think paying off the smaller ones are better so you have lesser debts to care of.

I found that keeping track of every cent that went through my fingers was an absolute must in my path to debt reduction. Once I saw where I was spending my money, then I found I had money available to start paying off my debts. I subscribe to the theory of paying down the highest interest debt first. That is how I’ve prioritized my debt repayments. I recently did a blog post about frugal living on a boat.

You need to prioritize, this is very important and then start to pay debts, paying the minimum on the biggest debts and trying to pay first the small debts, so at the end we will only have the biggest debts and then we can start paying more money.

After I became over $60,000 in debt, I began credit counseling. Two of the most important actions I was asked to take included writing down every dollar I spent and prioritizing every expenditure. I’m a mother of 3 girls, it can be difficult to tell your children that you can’t afford something. I strongly suggest that people evaluate their financial goals and savings before they apply for a loan.

This is the type of pragmatic approach we use. I work at a bank and we commonly council our clients to prioritize the order in which they pay off their debts by interest rate, create a realistic budget,set up direct deposit for paychecks and make use of online bill payment, which facilitates the entire process.
