Debt is a liability and a obligation to pay for something.
It is created by allowing an individual to use repayment with the intention of using future purchasing finances for a purchase.
It gives both individuals and businesses a alternative and convenience to get they want creating mutual beneficial situations.
The client gets his/her hand on items they want to owe with the use of financing of installment options, allowing clients to buy more with a single source of income spread over the number of months as per stated by the installment agreement.
The banks/businesses will be happy too as they have more sales and profits form the service charged billed to the business operators.
Should the client sign up more installments, the business will be happier, but if it exceeds the client’s threshold/financial capability of repaying, it will turn into debts. Banks will than set into the picture and charge clients an interest for debts incurred on compiling basis monthly.
Having the banks calling up the clients who are now debtors to the bank owing them money is not a pleasant experience nor would anybody want to be in that shoes.
To avoid such situations, it is best to avoid paying in installments, as accidents can happen (touch-wood). When it do happens, sudden lost of income will mean the lost of use of all un-paid items, in the event of inability to repay the banks, items will be auction to recover the repayments of debts.
Failure to repay all liabilities or debts will result in bankruptcy.
It is best to enjoy shopping paying using cash or using debit card or spending with monthly budget so to prevent any unwanted negative debts.
To properly manage debts, one has to know the difference between good and bad debts.
Good debts are mostly used and embraced by the rich individuals or business owners. It happens when they pay for items on installments similar like the majority of clients but with a twist. The only twist is that the rich has another stream of income to supplement, off-set this installment payment and even calculated to profit from the installment as a positive Return On Investment (ROI).
Bad debts are widely used and practiced by individuals and such problems always surface among the poor. They only pay and opt for installment options without additional external sources to offset the repayment scheme and yet keep on increasing their burden of repayment by buying more items on credit without working within their budget or considering if they can afford to pay off the bill thus problems are created in the process.
For better money management and free advice, doing it yourself is the best way possible. Simply using simple add, subtract, multiply and divide to calculate the working budget/income.
Identify all input of money (income, contributions from family/relatives); payments such as insurance, medical policies, monthly expenses for food, transportation and entertainment. Inclusive of amount of money meant for savings and investment and label them as expenses.
So that when you have a clear picture of how much money you have after deducting the necessary expenses and investments and savings which you will not touch, than you will have your working capital or the remaining as your budget to spend on. This way, you will not overspend your money and incur unnecessary debts for nothing.
Spend and plan your money wisely.
