I'm trying to pay off credit card debt, and it's good to see that every little bit helps. Another thing that I'm trying to do is make more money each month to apply toward my debt. I read an advance copy of Loral Langemeier's soon-to-be-released book, "Put More Cash in Your Pocket," and it's full of tips on tapping into your entrepreneurial spirit to earn more cash. I am offering my services as a private tutor at the local high school, and the extra money I make is going straight to my credit cards to help me pay down debt faster.

In total it cost me around £3,000! Never again will I make the minimum payment.. my card is set to "pay in full" automatically each month. I used to be in this dangerous cycle.

Nisall Sat, 19 Sep 2009 17:25:47 +0000 http://genxfinance.com/?p=1743#comment-122098 Jeremy, I have been waiting for a long, long time for someone beside myself to acknowledge the fact that credit can be a useful too if used within reason. Too many people dismiss it, as well as the credit industry as the "evil empire" and crying victim all of the time. I do agree that there are built-in traps that come along with credit usage, but it is ultimately up to the individual to take responsibility for its use. It seems that many people can benefit from some sort of credit education course before being extended the privilege of receiving a line, and that is a common theme of the <a href="http://letsblogmoney.com/tag/credit/" rel="nofollow">credit</a> section of my own blog. Hopefully, people will start to realize just how damaging laziness and ignorance can be when it comes to their finances and learn from their mistakes as well as those of others.
