4 Nifty Tricks to Help You Make Your Debt Disappear
When you've been carrying around a load of debt for a while, getting rid of it starts to feel impossible -- like cleaning out the Aegean stables. For those unacquainted with Greek myth, the Aegean stables were full of horses with disgusting personal habits who produced so much manure that the stable was considered impossible to clean. Cleaning out your credit mess may seem equally disgusting and impossible, but these tricks can make the job a whole lot easier.
The first step in getting rid of your debt is not adding more. With the Internet making impulse shopping easier than ever, this can be tricky, but there's one trick you can try to make it easier. You've probably heard the tip about putting your credit cards in the freezer so that it's hard to get at them; well, the Internet equivalent is to remove your saved credit card information from all your favorite shopping websites. The next time you buy something, you'll have to go find your wallet, get out the card, and enter all the information. By the time you've gone through this process, you'll have had time to come to your senses and realize that you don't really need a new heated birdbath.
