If you are in debt, naturally you would like to escape as soon as possible. Naturally you would like to have funds in a savings account.
But just imagining that isn't enough. You have to to lay out a specified plan, with a time line, to get out of debt and start saving up.
First of all you need to determine just how much you owe. You have to to assemble all of your bills collectively and go through them and determine the entire sum. You will also have to to figure out what your monthly payments are for each bill and add up the total amount owed.
If you literally can't pay them, you will have to call the lender and try to negotiate a smaller monthly payment. Do not settle for credit counseling, debt consolidation, debt settlement, or pay day loans to help you get out of debt. You can call your lenders yourself to negotiate new payment structures or settlement of your account without paying an enormous amount of fees that you will incur if you have someone else do it for you.
You need to determine just how long it's going to take you to pay off your debt. You might have to to modify something around your situation to pay it off; live in a less expensive home, obtain a second job until your debt is paid down and more manageable, sell stuff that you own and apply it towards debt, etc.
And you additionally need to save some money each and every month, regardless of how little the amount. If you establish a rainy day fund or savings account, even if you virtually are only saving $20 a month, you still are gaining ground rather than getting behind. And you will discover that once you've established your savings account, you're going to uncover techniques to allow you to put additional money into savings.
It is a good idea if you can establish a long term retirement savings account preferably in good growth ETF's or Mutual Funds, and then a few shorter term savings accounts. The shorter term ones are your rainy day and blow money accounts - an annual vacation account, a visit to the spa account, a Christmas account, whichever will make you pleased and prevent you from sensing deprivation as you reduce every day spending.
