Plenty of attractive goods and services in the
market
+ Smart bankers ready to finance your dreams and
aspirations.
= Rapidly multiplying debts and EMI obligations
And before you realize, many small bills add up to
a hefty amount that threaten to take away most of your salary... every month.
If your debt problems are yet to achieve serious
proportions...
If you have not still crossed that all-important
point of no return...
there is a remedy to solve all your debt
worries.
Known as 'Consolidation of debt' in financial
jargon, it simply means replacing many small debts with one or two large ones.
This may, on the face of it, not sound as a very big deal. However, the effect
can indeed be quite magical. As I repeatedly exhort, keep things simple. Simple
investments, simple insurance, simple debts, etc. are sufficient to give you an
excellent financial life. You do not need any complicated products to make you
rich.
Consolidating your debt simplifies your debt
profile as it has the potential to lessen your burden in many diverse ways.
Lesser are the loans to service.
As you would have experienced, keeping track of
several loans, and trying to pay various bills by the due date is a tedious
affair. Even when you have to ability to service all your debts, it is easy to
miss payments when the number is large. And within no time it can balloon into
a gigantic problem. When you consolidate all your debts into one or two, you
get a much better perspective of your financial picture and your debt problems
appear much less alarming.
Lesser is the interest outflow.
Different debts carry different rates. Also, there
is the additional penal interest whenever you default. When you take a single
loan to pay off multiple debts, the interest pay out on this new loan
is almost surely lower than the sum total of interests on many individuals
loans. This is a double bonanza. One, your monthly pay out reduces.
Two, lesser pay out means more money in hand, which can be helpful in
accelerating your debt reduction. So, within a short period of time, you will
see a rapid decline in your liabilities.
Lesser is the time pressure.
One of the key aspects of too many debts is too
many missed payments. Naturally, therefore, you are under immense pressure of
these numerous unpaid bills. And, despite your good intentions, you may have no
means to pay them all off at one go. What if you get an opportunity to repay
the overdue amount in instalments? Combining debts comes to your rescue by
staggering these outstanding payments over a longer time frame. With the
pressure off, you start rebuilding your life with a lot more peace of mind.
Lesser is the harassment.
Many debts mean many forgotten bills. And many
unpaid debts mean many unhappy lenders. Many unhappy lenders mean many
foreclosure notices and many threatening phone calls. One or two creditors,
post consolidation, means lesser chances of not remembering your due dates. No
delays mean no more harassment.
Try it out... now. You won't regret.
