Bury the Debt Monster: Part Two
Now that you’ve assessed all your current debt, it’s time to tackle the issue of bad debt. While accumulating debt might have been enjoyable, getting out of it is often less so. However, as you begin to take control of the debt monster, you’ll feel a significant burden lifting. Let’s get started!
Lesson Two: Credit Card Debt Elimination
Relief from debt anxiety is closer than you think, and the debt monster is about to meet its match.
Lower Your Interest Rates
Grab your list of bad debts from Lesson One; it’s time to negotiate with credit card companies!
Start by calling each issuer to request a reduction in your interest rate. If you have a history of timely payments, your chances of success are higher. However, it never hurts to try?"you might save a significant amount just by asking!
Suggested Conversation:
You: I recently received an offer to transfer my balance at 5% interest. I value your service but I’ve been paying 18% interest for the past four years. To save money, I might need to switch cards unless you can lower my rate.
The company may put you on hold to review your account. When they return:
You: I understand 18% might be standard, but the other card is offering 5.9%. I’ll save much more by switching unless you can reduce my rate to at least 10%.
They might return with an offer of, say, 12%. Accept it and celebrate?"just don’t overspend in your celebration!
Developing Your Plan of Attack
You need a solid strategy to defeat the debt monster, which thrives on neglect.
Create a new list or spreadsheet with accounts ordered by interest rate, highest first. Focus on paying off these high-interest debts first, as that minimizes how much of your payment goes toward interest rather than the principal.
By systematically addressing each step, you’ll steadily reduce the power of the debt monster and move closer to a debt-free life.
