Everyone is swamped now a day with worry of how to pay for everything. We are being pressured to make sure it’s paid on time or we have to get it paid off now or soon. But if you are late and have notices and threats and collection calls. The pressure in that alone will drive you crazy. Don’t let it. Take it one bill at a time.
I’ve learned and by speaking to a lot of people about bill collections or threats, that you must take it one bill at a time. Don’t worry about getting them all the bill paid at once. Put all the money in one bill and it will pay off quickly and then you can work on the next bill. Because when you are late, you are late. So be it.
The best advice I’ve ever gotten from someone deep in debt. Why pay them all at once, just take all the money and pay that bill and get it out of the way and then pay for the next one and so forth and so on. Your late, your late. He would get tons of call from all collection companies but the pressure was making him lose sleep, be worried and make another wrong step in life.
But one day, when he decided to take it one bill at a time, it all worked out fast. Out of the 15 bills that he was behind in. He had them all paid off within 18 months, all of them. He fought, and yelled and screamed and told them, it will get paid when money comes in. As he did that, he would pay the bill and pay it off and then go to the next one. It was getting to the point where, he was in control not the bill collector.
At this time, he works a full time job and a part-time job. Because of all the hard work he did to get himself out of debt. He wants to reward him self by taking a trip to Europe next year. So he is saving every penny he can find and is telling himself, that he did good and he is worth it.
So if you struggling and don’t know what to do and you can’t find where to go next. Just take it one bill at a time or one step at a time. Step back, take a deep breath and just put all the bills in order of how you want to pay them off and work on it. In the mean time, take your frustration out on your bill collection company and yell back. Work hard and you will see your victory soon.
