If you think you are the only person with a debt problem think again, our nation is debt ridden and we have borrowed in many instance over our heads. Instead of realizing the American dream we have instead chained ourselves to the perpetual nightmare. Debt is like a dead weight that holds you down, if you are overwhelmed with debt then much of your time and energy is devoted to just surviving. It is almost like treading water, you are investing a whole lot of energy and time but you aren't actually going anywhere.

If you are chained to debt then chances are you are at the whim and mercy of other people. You aren't really in control of your destiny, if for instance interest rates were to increase or things that you need start to increase you are now at their mercy.

You can't have financial control if you don't have a certain level of financial security and that begins with the savings habit. You might be struggling with debt payments right now but you can still open up a high interest account and automatically setup a direct payment from each paycheck. Set a fixed amount, ideally you want to set aside 10% of your paycheck to investing in your future but if this is not feasible why not make this a smaller percentage and work upwards over time.

Once that is paid off then you would then target the debt with the next lowest balance and so on until your debts are paid off. The idea is that as each debt is repaid you now have extra funds available to put towards the next balance.

You want to keep disciplined with this debt repayment schedule and once you are totally out of debt not only will you feel great but because of your savings plan you will also have something to show for it.
