especially high interest debt-we are no longer in low interest rate times. Debt robs you off the future you could be saving for since the money you have must go toward paying interest. Many people coming out of the holidays may have put money on credit cards/ typically a double digit interest rates. You need to get ahead of this. Don’t wait to get the statement. Go online today or tomorrow and check your statement to see and make a plan to pay off this debt as soon as possible. Same goes for mortgage. Don’t wait to get the renewal in the mail. If you have a mortgage coming up for renewal contact your bank to discuss finance options to pay down the mortgage while making payments as affordable as possible
