When you find yourself in deep debt and you are looking for ways to reduce your debt, one approach is a debt repayment plan but an often overlooked tool is to increase your income with a higher paying job and use those additional funds to reduce your debt. That way you can become debt free without reducing your lifestyle at all.

 

Without looking for a new job and increasing your income what you will need to do is find expenses in your current budget that you are willing to cut out or cut back on. By making those needed changes you will inevitably change your lifestyle in some way. Not that it is a bad thing to do, but the problem with lifestyle changes is if they are too deep or too drastic they are not sustainable.


Sustainability is critical. It does not make sense to launch into a five year repayment plan without a real chance of completing it. Making two years worth of debt repayments, only to not be able to keep it up becuase your life has become so sterile, just isn't reasonable.
 

Rather than go without fun in your life, consider blasting your CV out to employers and see if any new job offers come your way.
