Debt

People are seeking debt advice every day as they are buried in bills. There are some tried and true methods to get out of debt, yet deciding on the one that is right, can be difficult. The most important thing is to stick with a plan and keep track of goals. Getting out of debt requires dedication once a plan is implemented.

It is so easy to become burdened with debts, yet almost impossible to escape from it when thousands of dollars are owed. Unfortunately, some may wait too long to try to tackle it. To be able to get control of it, it is necessary to understand the types of debt. Some debts are unsecured, which means the debt is not attached to a piece of property, like credit card debt. A mortgage payment is a secured debt, and if the loan is not paid, there is a risk of losing the home.

Getting control of bills needs to begin with a carefully prepared, written budget, and keeping track of every dollar. It is a guide and may need adjusting from time to time. That is ok, it helps to review it, adjust it, and, stick with what is written down.

Organize all required monthly expenses. Begin with food expenses, the mortgage payment, and utility bills. Consider looking over last years bills to get an estimate of the total expenses for the year. For example, a utility bill may be higher during hot months or cold months, and it may be necessary to set aside money to prepare. Reviewing last years income and expenses can help you discover any extra payments for insurances, taxes, etc.

Example of Expenses Listed on a Budget:

* Mortgage Payments

* Utility bills

* Phone bills

* Child Care

* Gifts, Birthdays, etc.

* Gas, auto payments, repairs

* Food, cook more, eat out less

* Money deposited into a savings account.

The list above is an example, make your own list and write a dollar amount by each item. Consider things on the list that could be eliminated. For example, cell phone plans could be reduced or home phones may not be needed. Notice that entertainment is not on the list. By eliminating this expense, there could be more money to use to pay down bills. If it is put on the budget, make sure to set an amount that is reasonable and set limits. Entertainment expenses can take a big bite out of the monthly income. Try to do more home activities for a while.

First time budgets can be a success, and it takes time for it to become a habit and refined. It is a starting point, as many people never follow one, and later wonder how they got into debt. The more it becomes a habit, the more you know your expenses, and what you must plan to spend out of each paycheck. Keeping bills paid on time can be huge stress relief.

Target debts to pay every time a paycheck is received, spread it around to what is necessary to pay first. After some weeks, you may find your finances in better shape and feel some pride in getting debts well under control. Paying debts must become a weekly target, to make progress and get bills paid. This also helps to avoid any added expenses. Using a calendar as a reminder is a good tool to use. When getting out of debt is not working, consider a free quote from a debt counselor.

We've all seen them....the commercials, the advertisements, the infomercials... on late night television, on Saturday mornings after cartoons, and all over the Internet. "Free government grants!" One guy got money to buy a house, another to start a business, and another to pay medical bills.

The government has free money and it's given away for all sorts of reasons...from the everyday personal needs of the average citizen to business needs. It's just that the government doesn't tell you about it. Right?

And after you see the ads and hear the sales pitch, even a skeptical you isn't sure whether or not what you're hearing is true. Maybe there is a grant you can get to open that auto repair shop you've been dreaming about, or to buy that house you've been unable to save a down payment for, or to fund a prototype for the amazing toilet training seat you invented. Or not?

So, what about those free government grants, are they a fact or fiction? Well, these are the facts.

Fact: Grants are overwhelmingly awarded to organizations, not individuals.

Fact: Grants are overwhelmingly awarded to non-profit organizations, not to profit-making entities.

Let me give you a little advice before you fork over $34.95 (this price, only if you order by midnight tonight, of course) to purchase a guide to free government grants or $49.99 or $59.99 or $69.99 (depending on the company and the package of items) for some combination of one or more grant guides, reports on government funding, and a 3-hour VHS or DVD training course.

#1 Make sure that you distinguish between what is really a grant (meaning you don't have to pay it back), what is a loan, and what other forms of assistance are actually available. Much of what you will find can be more accurately characterized as government income-assistance programs, as opposed to grants.

#2 Make sure that you find out exactly who can receive this funding. There will be a number of eligibility requirements, which vary according to program. Must you represent an organization? What kind? Must you meet certain income restrictions, live in a certain geographic area, be disabled, retired, etc.? If you do not fit into a special category, is this money still available to you?

Think of it this way, if it really were a fact that the government was giving away "free grant money" to pay people's bills, would so many American citizens have filed bankruptcy this past year?

Bottom line: it's not as easy to get "free government grants" for any and every purpose as some would like you to believe!
