Organize Properly:
The very first step of the credit card debt reduction is to know about how much you owe and to whom. Make a list of all the credit cards which you have, and then make a note of how much you owe on each one, also make a note of the respective interest rates too. Prepare this list in the descending order, depending on the interest rates, i.e. put highest interest rate at the top while the lowest one at the bottom of the list. You can either make this list on paper, or you can use Excel to create the list.

Finding & Paying Minimum Payment:
We all know that the high interest rate credit cards are of top priority for us, and I know that mostly we are not in a position to pay off the entire amount at a go. So let us first find out the minimum payment on each card and mention it in front of the particular card in the list. Now at first you need to pay all the minimum payments, and then consider how much more you can be able to pay. Always divide your earnings in a manner that the second number cards to the last one will get the minimum payments, while the top one will get the maximum one as much as possible.

In between, try not to purchase anything for which you do have the cash available in your hand. Use credit cards only when there is no option left. Then also try to use the cards of the lower interest rates only, as you are already paying the minimum payments so you won’t have any problem in using them. I am sure that following these tips will surely help you to get a debt free life which will have less stress. Never allow your debt to get out-of-hand.
