Your Goal: Don't Let Debt Stay

Your Situation: You got debt.

Your Desire: Crush these money woes.

 

Let's Dive In:

 

Crush #1: Control Wrong Words & Thoughts

What do words and thoughts have to do with money woes?

Simply said, how you think affects how you spend.

My job does not pay enough.

The economy pulled us down.

It's only going to get worse.

I've done all I can do about this money thing.

If only I had a better job...  

 

*Clap your hand over your mouth!

*Stop believing what you don't want.

*Start saying what you do want.

 

 

 

Crush #2: Tell Money Where to Go

2025 BLOG 5  TELL YOURSELF   by hayley murray unsplash

Am I supposed to talk to my money? 

Yes! Here's how you talk to your money:

 

I refuse to be pushed around

by advertising that tells me what to buy and when.  

 

 

I decide ahead of time

how much I will spend on everything I purchase.

 

 

 

I will decide if I am able to afford each expenditure I make.

  

Make money serve you.

With every new expense that pops up, take the time to approve 

or disapprove the expenditure before it starts - or shop

around for a better price!

  

Control your thoughts.

Non-essential purchases are often thoughts that have been talking to you.

Learn to answer them back appropriately and promptly.

  

 

“Hey, what about that nice _____. Wouldn’t you like to have one of those?

You've been working hard; you deserve it.”   Answer: Not now.

 

“You know how good you will look wearing this?

You can have it today for 4 easy payments.

Why don’t you just get it today?”   

Answer: I don't need that to look good! 

 

 

“So what? You don't have the money right now.

Go ahead. Pull out the credit card.

Answer: Nope!

 

 

You know that old clunker you've been driving

is about to give out any day now.

The car lot offers fast financing. Why shouldn't you have nice wheels?

Answer: Repairs are less expensive than a new car.

Beside, we're saving for a house!

than the calculator told you it would.

Go Getters Get Rid of Debt

When you get:

money in a birthday card, a tax refund,

a work bonus,

or pay from a side hustle job:

Apply as much as you can

to the bill with the shortest payoff period. 

 

 

 

 

Crush #5: Strategize to Save Money

Strategy = A careful plan that leads to your goal 

How to Strategize smart spending:

 

Since money woes do not necessarily stop when you get

descretionary spending loans paid off, you can strategize

for your next BIG want:

Maybe you want to pay off your car or mortgage early.

 

 

Maybe you want to save for a new house.

A new car.

Or a boat.  

You choose.

 A good plan must be carried out

in order to be successful

 

 

->How about taking the money, you were using to pay those bills

and sticking those dollars into a savings account? 

->Once you get a chunk saved,

how about putting that chunk of dollars

into a CD that will earn you more money

than a simple savings account?

 

 

When you cannot touch the money for a term of months -

it tends to grow faster than you might expect.

You may also want to increase your 401k deductions

at work so you get the maximum company match amount.

This is like free money reward$

 

 

Remember the Goal:  

Crush your money woes!
