Here are some tips to avoid debt:

Create a budget: Knowing how much you earn and how much you spend each month can help you stay within your means.

Pay bills on time: Late fees and interest charges can quickly add up and increase your debt.

Avoid using credit cards: If you do use credit cards, make sure to pay the balance in full each month to avoid interest charges.

Consider alternative options: Before taking on debt for a big purchase, consider alternatives like saving up or finding a less expensive option.

Creating a budget is essential for financial health. Planning our expenditures based on income flows can help us stay out of debt. A budget enables us to assign every cent of our earnings toward the achievement of our life goals.

By living within our means and purposefully saving money, we can avoid resorting to debt in times of need. Taking an extra job, working online during our free time, or starting a small business on the side could help us acquire the funds we need to stay financially healthy and invest. By investing our funds in worthwhile and productive assets, we can grow money and make it work for us.

While all debts can be burdensome, know the difference between good and bad debts. Good debts enable you to invest in tangible and non-tangible assets that are expected to provide satisfactory returns in the future. Bad debts may help you solve present needs or wants but offer no real financial gains.

While credit card use may offer attractive benefits, it takes a lot of discipline to pay the total amount due in full every cycle. If you don't have this discipline, you may as well stick to paying cash for all types of purchases. Revolving credit card charges and paying only the minimum amount due on credit cards will suck your finances and push you further down the debt trap.​
