1. How to Practice Financial Self-Care
Navigating through your own world personal finance can be a daunting task. There are strategies
that can help you become financially healthy so you can weather any type of economy. These
strategies include paying off your mortgage and paying off your credit card debt.
Paying off your mortgage:
Paying off your mortgage at an accelerated rate will save you hundreds of dollars in interest
every month. You can do this by switching your 30 year loan to a 15 year loan. You will be
paying more of your loan balance each month but you will also pay the mortgage off sooner and
save yourself a sizable amount of cash on interest in the long run. The sooner you pay off your
mortgage the better. You will rest easier knowing that all your hard work paid off and have the
peace of mind.
Paying Off Your Credit Card Debt:
Credit cards carry a lot of risk especially when you do not pay them off on time. Accumulating
debt on a credit card becomes more difficult and tough to reconcile when you are charged
hideous interest rates. Some people pay has high as 19.95% on some credit cards. Do yourself
the favor of paying off your credit card balance with a low rate loan and make the commitment
to pay it off as quickly as possible.
2. Stop Paying for Things You Do Not Need:
Buying subscription services such as those to audio books, digital streaming sites and meals
delivered to your door may be great to have, but not when you do not have the time to enjoy
them. If you do not use these services regularly and they are not adding value to your life, may
it’s time to detach from them and save your pocketbook from continued expenditures that you do
not need.
Be Practical and Buy Generic Brands:
Many of us have been feeling the pinch at the supermarket. Many of the food and products
manufactured and produced are expensive due to their packaging alone. Saving money can be as
easy as replacing the name brands you buy at the grocery store with their generic counterparts.
These brands do not spend a lot of money on the packaging and compared to the names brands,
are as good in quality and a deal to buy.
Making good financial decisions is important in practicing financial self-care. Small changes to
your finances now can mean saving big amounts of cash in your wallet over a long period of
time. You can make positive changes in your life by being aware of where you are financially
and making the tough decisions that will bring you closer to financial freedom.
