Debt Relief - 7 Best Financial Advice For 2008


In today's time most people are in some sort of debt. Many people start to search for debt relief because the bills start to surpass the money they make at there job. Here is the list for the 7 best financial advice for 2008.

1. Never co-sign a loan for anyone. Why, it always ends up in court. It does not matter if it is your mother,father,brother,sister,aunt,friend etc. I have seen a lot of sisters and brothers taking each other to court lately for money problems. Don't do it.

2. Try to buy items that have quality. Why, because it will last a lot longer than something that is cheap. You do not want to spend the little money you have buying the same item over and over again. Buying high quality items the first time around will help you save in the end. You will not have to buy that item for a very long time.

3. This is the number one reason why so many people need and look for financial advice. You must learn the difference between needs and wants. When you shop for food or clothing before you pull out your wallet, ask yourself do I really need this? If you answer," I don't need this but I want this," there is your problem. When you are in debt and you need to make an important chose. You only should buy things you need, such as toilet paper, milk, bread etc. Do not waste money on things I call luxury items, such as a new dress, a new pair shoes or a new bowling ball. You're wasting a lot of money.

4. Another really great financial advice that you can follow is to leave your credit cards at home. Only bring your bank card this way you can only spend what you have on your card. If you don't have the money in your checking account you can't buy it. This will stop you from spending too much.

5. Debt relief does not start with borrowing money. If you need more money it might be a good idea to get a second job if you need it. Many people I know work at two jobs. You can just work the two jobs until you pay down your bills to where you don't owe anyone any money.

6. The best debt relief advice I can give you is not to gamble if you can help it. If you have to gamble only spend what you can afford to lose. This includes the Lottery also. I know people who spend almost there entire paycheck on lottery tickets.

7. If you have not thought about this last financial advice, you need to. Most people who become wealthy did it by owning there own business. It can be a work at home business also. If you make way more money than your 9 to 5 job then you are on your way. This has happened to many people.
