3 Money-Saving Tips To Stay Out Of Debt

Debt review in Cape Town can be of great assistance when you find yourself overwhelmed by debt.   It is always preferable not to reach the position where debt review becomes your only option.  Of course there can be events outside of our control that push you into debt.  A medical issue can occur, the death of breadwinner, an accident.   In the normal course of events, however, there are measures you can take to keep out of debt and save money.

What you can do

In Cape Town, debt review can hopefully be avoided if you spend less and save more.  

  1. The first way you can do this is to draw up a budget.  Know what your priorities are when it comes to spending.  If you know your “must-haves” and your “would-like-to-haves”, you can make sure that you are spending your money where it matters.  When money is tight, you can hold off on unnecessary items rather than finding yourself in financial trouble.  
  2. The second tip for staying out of debt is to watch your spending, especially on credit cards.  It is easy to run up debt on credit cards.  You don’t physically see cash changing hands and the payment seems somewhat removed from you. In no time at all you can have amassed a large debt, and most of your salary could be going to servicing this expensive debt.   Rather than buying on credit, save up for items before you buy them.
  3. The third tip for staying out of debt is to do things yourself instead of paying someone else to do them.  Of course one must be sensible.  This does not mean save money and do your own stitches if you get injured.  It means things like paint your wall yourself rather than employing someone else.
