II. Know where you stand -
Exactly who and how much do you owe?

Make a list of creditors with name, address, phone, credit card number, expiration date, and security code.

This information will be necessary should you need to contact the company for any reason. You should destroy the actually cards (to reduce temptation) and won�t have access to them for this information.

Pull out all your most recent statements and make a list. Write down the balance owed, interest rate , current minimum payment.

Also, indicate if the interest rate is variable (changes based on the prime rate) or is fixed (will remain the same rate regardless of the prime rate as long as the prime rate does not go above that amount)

If you look at the interest rate on your statement, it may have a V next to the rate which would indicate that it is a variable rate.

If you can�t find the information, call the company and inquire about the interest rate terms on your account. It will be worth the effort as those variable rates will need closer monitoring.

III. Determine your total monthly payment for unsecured debt.

Add up the current minimum payments due on all your accounts. This total will be your ongoing monthly debt reduction payment.

This ones easy. What are you paying now each month?

This is your Debt Reduction Made Simple payment amount to be entered into your Debt Free Living Household Budget. Each month until your debts are paid in full, you will pay this amount even if the minimum payment amounts decrease.

If for some reason (and in some rare cases this will happen) a payment increases, you will have to adjust that payment accordingly.

As your accounts are paid one by one, you apply the full amount of that payment to another payment.

Within 2-6 years (on average depending on the amount of debt) your debts will be paid.

When you reach your debt reduction goals, you will be free to invest in yourself! You can take these same funds to start building your financial security and independence.

Using the traditional minimum payment method would take the average family 20-30 years to become debt free.
