Now the best way I know to get rid of bad debt is to use what I call the snowball method.  Now let’s go through the snowball method step by step.

let’s go through the snowball method step by step.

Step 1 – Gather all the statements of the bad debts you have.

Step 3 – work out what you need to pay each month so the debt does not increase.  Simply multiply the debt by the interest rate and divide by 12.

The next step, step 5 is to work out how much extra you can pay to reduce your debts each month.

Step 7 – now combine the amount you were paying off the first debt with the repayment on the debt with the next highest interest rate.  In this case you were previously paying $375 per month on the store card and $101 on the credit card.  Now you pay $476 per month off the credit card.

You stick to this each month till the credit card is paid off, then………..

Now all your bad debt has been paid off.

Now you do not want to waste this pattern of putting extra money to use each month.

So the next step is to take the money you were using to pay off your bad debt each month and use this now to focus on growing your wealth.
