It is easy to rack up bills without even noticing how far in debt you have become. When you have a variety of different bills, you end up paying a lot in interest fees. That is when it becomes important to try to consolidate bills into one monthly bill. However, it is equally important to remain debt free after you consolidate bills and get rid of your debt.
Once you consolidate bills, you must learn how to keep from racking up new debt. One of the first ways to remain debt free is to get rid of any credit cards. If you have access to the credit cards, it is very easy to use them and quickly rack up the debt again. Therefore, it is important to close out the accounts once they are paid off.
Be sure to keep one credit card open in case you have an emergency. However, it is important to only use the credit card for a true emergency. Keep in mind that wanting something does not necessitate a true emergency.
After you consolidate bills, you should have extra money coming in each month. You will be saving a considerable amount on interest payments alone. Therefore, be sure to save some of that money. That way, when something arises that you want to buy or do, you will have the cash to pay for it, verses charging it to a credit card.
When you consolidate bills, you will also be saving money each month on your payments. Instead of paying out five different minimum payments, you are able to make one simple payment. With the extra money you have each month, try to put it towards your debt. This will help to pay off the debt quicker.
After you consolidate bills, you can begin to repair your credit. By paying your debt off with regular payments, you will dramatically increase your credit score. With a higher credit score, you will be able to get a better interest rate. Therefore, if the need arises to get a new loan for the purchase of a car or new home, you will be benefit from the lower interest rate.
Financial troubles have plagued many of us. But realizing there is help available and taking advantage of that help will assist you in getting out of debt. Most importantly, once you consolidate bills, be sure to not rack up new ones.

LinkedIn Recommendation:
 Demetrius Reardon - Search Engine Optimization Manager at Blue Galaxy Marketing - I just attended Teo's LinkedIn workshop and am getting more information on how to use it. Great stuff. He told us everything there was to know about LinkedIn in one sentence. Then went into details, then added some optional ways to use it, just so much information so quickly... I had a little trouble keeping up, but he kept coming back to that one sentence to show how it all fits. It really is easy! Love Teo's style! He's got a lot of energy and would love to meet him in person someday! - March 17, 2012, Demetrius was Teo's client |
