How to Save Money and Start Investing in 2021
  • Opening Intro -

    It's 2021, and you've found yourself in the worst debt situation ever.

    You have no idea how you're going to get out of debt, let alone start investing for your future.

-------------------------------------

The good news is that it’s 100 percent possible to do. All you need is a good strategy and some information on how to implement it. Here’s how you can start saving money and investing in 2021, even if you’re currently underneath a mound of debt.

1. Terminate Credit Card Use

Step number one to getting out of debt is to stop creating it. You have to be serious enough about getting out of debt to be willing to put your credit cards down. Don’t use them for frivolous purchases. Don’t even use them for emergencies if you can help it. Stop all use for six months to a year.

2. Consolidate Your Debt

The next thing you’ll need to do is consolidate your debt.Debt consolidation can save you money because it can give you a better interest rate than the rates you have on your current credit cards and accounts. Let the consolidation loan be the only credit item you apply for over the next year.

The consolidation lender’s loan will cover all of your outstanding debts so that you can pay them off. You’ll only be responsible for paying off the consolidation lender at that point.

Make all of your payments to the consolidation lender on time, and you will see great improvements in your credit score.

3. Increase Your Income

You might need to do something to increase your income during this credit rehabilitation period. You can search for a part-time job that won’t put too much stress on your body or mind.

Many online jobs are available that you can utilize to bring additional funds into the household. You will use some of those funds for the next step in the process.

4. Double Up on Debt Payments

You can cut down the time it will take to pay your consolidation loan if you double up on the payments. You’ll also take care of the interest each time you make a payment. Lenders will probably offer you credit line increases and additional products if you keep a steady payment plan, as well.

5. Pay Yourself

Make sure you take some of the money you earn and give it to yourself. You’ll want to give some money to yourself for fun and recreation. You should do this so that getting out of debt and saving money doesn’t become burdensome to you.

Give yourself an allowance every pay cycle to remind yourself that you deserve some of the money you’re working for. You need to put another portion of it into a savings account for your future.

6. Start an Investment Fund

Starting an investment fund is another thing you need to do while you’re saving your money and paying down your debt. Open up a bank account with a low balance threshold and start putting money into it every pay cycle. Think of an amount you want to start your investment with and then save up until you get that amount.

7. Choose Your Investments Wisely

Finally, you’ll be ready to invest when you’ve saved up your initial investment lump. You have to decide how you want to invest it, however. Do you like stocks? Would you prefer to invest in coins?
