Thanks Elycia - I know it worked really well for my kids, as well as other parents that I talked about it to.

I like this entry a lot. It's very well written and yes, I think saving 50% and spending 50% is a very good principle to be imparted to your child.

Thanks, greysyl. I have been paying small amounts every month cause the bank has been reminding me. It's just not fast enough and I just want to get done and over with it. I get 10% interest every month. It's still okay.

Hi Elycia it might be worth it to obtain a copy of your credit report. Even if you have cancelled your cards if there was an outstanding balance on your card the lender will still have to maintain their reporting on your credit standing. If you are making regular payments even if they are small, this would count in your favour. The end result is you want them to continue to do the reporting and especially the final reporting once you have paid your bill in full to show 'Paid in full as agreed' and this will definitely improve your score.

The other thing to keep in mind with creditors is you always want to pay something even if it is only $5 or $10 a month. As long as you continue to make regular payments there is no legal action that they take on you for non-payment. They could however offer you a settlement amount to clear your account and this is generally less than your current amount owing, or it could be a freeze on interest accumulating.

Keep your chin up girl, there are better days ahead, you just have to keep going forward!

This is a very interesting post. For me, I don't think I have a positive credit rating. I cancelled my credit card but I'm still in debt. Too many commitments in life now. It used to be so easy to pay up. Now, everything just keeps snowballing at me.

akaluv I agree living on a budget doesn't always work out, but if you stay consistent with it eventually the bugs work out and all is good.

Make a Budget that Works - Getting Organized

April 25, 2017 at 11:04pm

While my favorite subject and business is budgeting money - this past month I have been budgeting my time in many different directions with my main concentration on preparing and producing an on-line course for those that have never had a budget and those that do but are having issues with getting a budget to work for them. It has been an extensive process and a lot of writing since I started this project Feb 27th, to say the least. But I couldn't be more pleased with the results of the fi... [Read more]
