The first thing you have to do is take stock of expenses and income, so that we have a clear idea of ​​what our financial position and with what funds we have.

Then we have to work on two fronts: one is to limit expenses and another increase revenue. We must dispense with all unnecessary expenses and limit ourselves to the strictly necessary. On the other hand, we find a second job or activity you provide extra income to help us get out of debt.

Finally, we record all our loans along with the interest rate they have. The will order from highest to lowest, and start paying the highest interest, which will be the most even of our economy. We will pay the fee and any extra income we get, we will use it to repay the loan, which will finish ahead of schedule pay.
