Getting out of debt is probably more important now than it ever was. Why? For one thing, the value of the dollar is falling. As a consumer, that means it will take more of your hard earned money to just pay for the necessities. Your dollars aren’t going to go as far. This affects everything in terms of your finances. In addition, the price of many things you buy is increasing. For example, take the price of gas. When you’re paying more to fill your gas tank, you have less to pay down your debt. The money that you use to pay those credit card payments, could be going to other things-including savings.
It is easy to put off tackling your debt. You tell yourself that you’ll start next month, or you’ll start once you get your tax return. But, I’m here to tell you that there is no better time than right now to make the commitment to begin paying down your debt. If not now, then when?

You’re right! The more we pay in interest to credit card companies the less we have to pay the increased cost of gasoline – and all the goods we buy that cost more now because of the increased cost of gasoline.
Did you know that a 10# bag of flour that used to be under $2 is now over $6!
Besides, paying interest is just no fun! I can think of at least a hundred better things to do with that money.
