Few tips to living debt free ( Where there is a will there is a way)
- Make yourself strong and do not get trapped in this credit card offers, 0% interest for 6 months or 12 months is very common. There are still a few catch in these offers. If you look at the details of the credit card , yes I am talking about the fine print of the offer, there are some clauses like if you do not make the minimum payment you will be charged at 25% rate. With interest rate so low even if 1 out of 10 defaults every month credit card company has made their money back. Anyway live within your means. You may want to get rid of credit cards one a time and set up a target dead line to get rid of all credit card by some date and follow your dead line.
- If you start spending cash and make payments at store in cash, this will have two effects counting money and handing that money to cashier will make you think that you are spending x amount of money, while if you pay with your credit card you do not care or do not think twice even if the amount is beyond your capacity to pay in the future and you get trapped in that cycle of "Dream - Living Debt free"
- If you have a student loan or some other loan that you have taken, you may want to sit down and calculate how are you going to pay for it. No one else is going to help you but yourself and remember that you have to pay that money back sooner or later becomes your choice. Sooner you pay smaller the amount is and later you pay you will pay more in interest.
- If you are smart and have a good control over yourself, you can try this. Take a credit card offer that is 0% on balance transfer for x amount of months, take that offer but make sure that you make a plan to pay that amount in time to the credit card company and also you have to make sure that you repay the full amount before end of that offer. If you can remember that somehow to do this in time. With such a busy life, specially in the mid age with kids you may forget about it and end up paying more. So be careful.
- Bottom line, is to try to limit you debt slowly and finally eliminate it totally.
- Who needs a credit, if you plan on living within your means. It is difficult to understand this concept as we grow up in a different environment where every one says to build a good credit history, which is ultimately a trap with busy life.

US Dollar is strong
US Dollar is getting stronger as compared to other foreign currencies. I believe that this trend will keep on going for a while till Europe's position is cleared. Once that happens then US Dollar will depreciate a bit, but still keep strong as world has a belief in USD. This is good and bad. Good in the sense that people have more confidence in USD and more and more investment will be done in USD. Bad in the sense lesser US exports keeping a misbalance in Import and export. More imports and less exports is not good for economy.
