Getting out of debt as a self-employed person can be challenging and it could requires a combination of careful budgeting, strategic planning, and disciplined execution. I'll show you some steps you that might help you in your decision making process
Create a concrete budget and start by listing all your income sources and expenses. Make sure you have a clear understanding of how much money is coming in and going out each month.
Prioritize debts and make a good list of your debts, including the interest rate, minimum payment, and balance for each one. Focus on paying off the debt with the highest interest rate first while paying the minimum on the others.
Cut expenses and look for ways to reduce your expenses, such as negotiating bills, cutting back on non-essential spending, and finding ways to increase your income.
If you have high-interest debt, consider consolidating it into one lower interest rate loan to make your payments more manageable.
Create a debt repayment plan and decide on a monthly payment amount that you can realistically afford and stick to it. Automating your payments can help ensure you never miss a payment.
Increase your income and look for ways to increase your income, such as taking on additional clients, offering additional services, or finding a side hustle.
Remember, getting out of debt requires patience and perseverance. Stick to your budget and debt repayment plan, and stay motivated by setting goals and tracking your progress.
