Debt can weigh on you and affect your ability to move forward with your plans. So here are some creative ways to clear that debt quicker…
1: Yard Sale
Round up all the household things you don’t need anymore and have a yard sale. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. If you find some individual valuable items then you might choose to sell those online so you can reach a greater audience.
2: Coin Jar
Save all your spare change and put it in a jar. When it is full, take it to the bank and make an additional payment off the debt of your choice.
3: Coupons
Not just for obsessive couponers! Use coupons to save on your everyday shopping, then bank the money you saved against your debts.
4: Hire Yourself
Instead of paying someone to cut the grass or clean your kitchen, do it yourself and use the money you would have spent as an extra debt payment.
5: Paid Opinions
Sign up to take online surveys for money, then put your earnings against your debts.
6: Bank The Extras
Do you still get birthday money from Great Aunt Muriel, or a Christmas bonus from work? Don’t blow it on junk you don’t need, put it against your debt.
7: Cash In Your Talent
Do you have a hobby that could make you some money? Then sell your services to the community.
