Debt Management
What is debt? Debt is carrying over a balance on a credit card from one month to the next. Also, a car loan and a mortgage are considered debt. When you pay less than the minimum payment and miss a payment, penalties usually occur, and this can lead to mounting debt consequences. When debt gets beyond your control, setting a debt management payment plan will help get you back on track.
Financial planning and budgeting are critical steps in planning your debt management strategy.
