Debt Acceleration - Mortgage Acceleration

Debt Acceleration - Mortgage Acceleration

There are many programs out there to help you accelerate paying off a mortgage or paying off all debts.

I believe that you should create a debt payoff plan that focuses on paying off all debts. The mortgage debt should be the last debt in the list.

There are many different programs available to help with eliminating debt. The most common type or method is debt stacking. Debt Stacking is also called debt snowball or debt accelerator, basicly are doing the same thing.

In future post I will show you how this method works in detail to eliminate all your debt in only 5 to 7 years with the money you already make.

Enjoy Debt Freedom

2009-09-26T06:45:00.003-04:00

The difference between Debt Freedom and Financial Freedom. Many people think that these are the same, they are not.

Debt Freedom is to be debt free. Completely debt free no credit cards, mortgage, car payments. That is what I consider Debt Freedom.

Financial Freedom is having enough money coming in that you know longer have to work for it. Another words if you went on a trip for a month and came back you would still have everything you needed financially.

There are only a couple of ways to achieve financial freedom. First you have to be debt free (personal debt). Second you either won the money playing the Lottery (I don't recommend that) gambling. Third, either was giving the money by family or Forth investments.

Okay the main ways to have Financial Freedom is to have a system were money is working for you, you are not working for money.

Help those that you love achieve financial freedom by helping them to become debt free today. You can do that for free at RapiddebtReducer.com a leading debt management software website.

Saving Money at the Fair

2009-08-29T08:42:00.005-04:00

By Gene Jolley

Well summer is here and almost gone in New England and Fair season is in full swing. Today our family is going to the Connecticut Valley Fair a large fair in Northern Vermont. The cost of traveling very far this summer a little high and my thinking is the local fair would be a good day trip.

At the Family Finance Advisor - we seek to help families to live better while spending less

This fair has a single admission rate of 15.00 and includes all the rides. That is a big saving if you have six children like we do. Anyone that knows us know that we like to have a good time and brag at doing it conservetively, Okay on the cheap.

Take time to enjoy local events, and support your community this year. The finanical outlook in my opinion is still bleak for the forseeable future. So spend wisely.

This is another one of the websites Family Finance Advisor. I purchased this website last year to help create some extra income from advertisers. It is a great website with multiple ways to generate income.

One way is through clickbank. There are three links on the left that help advertise great programs about Family Finance.

Another way is with Amazon. Amazon program is free to join. Amazon ads try to match the keyword or topic for the website displaying them.

Family Finance is a complex topic and needs to be broken down in to smaller subjects such as saving, debt, investing, mortgage, collage planning etc. Over all the webstie does a great job at promoting the subject.

Free Financial Software to Get Out of Debt

2009-08-14T07:50:00.001-04:00

Financial freedom expert Gene Jolley does not want anyone's money. But he does want everyone to have his custom software, The Rapid Debt Reducer, which has helped hundreds of families get out of debt and live the life they deserve.

"People are being ripped off for hundreds and thousands of dollars on gimmicks that say they will help get them out of debt, but in the end don't," said Jolley, who has been selling the successful Rapid Debt Reducer software for over five years. Now, during what some experts say is the largest recession America has experienced since the Great Depression, Jolley is offering the program at no cost as a way to help everyone achieve financial freedom and live a better life.

It's not a gimmick. "I help people financially, many times at no cost because we are being tricked by society and someone has to do something," states Jolley, who launched his financial services company, Kingdom Financial Principal LLC in 2002. He explains that The Rapid Debt Reducer is not debt consolidation and is not debt settlement - it is an easy to use software program that shows people which bills to pay first in order to eliminate debt more quickly and save thousands of dollars in interest. It will even calculate the date on which the person using the program will be debt free.

With nothing to lose, people everywhere are taking advantage of Jolley's ingenuity and generosity. "I had a meager life growing up. My mom raised four kids on her own and there wasn't a lot of money." Jolley knows that his upbringing is not unusual, which is part of the motivation behind offering The Rapid Debt Reducer free. "I am trying to make a positive impact in people's lives by showing them how to enjoy life, the environment, and family."

Jolley also experienced financial hardship as an adult trying to support his wife and children. He developed the Rapid Debt Reducer to eliminate his own debt and now he is able to enjoy life with his wife of 20 years and their six children without struggling with their finances. He is proud that this program not only helps, but also teaches people how to live a better life. The Rapid Debt Reducer, which can be downloaded free from www.rapiddebtreducer.com, is easy to use and doesn't require a financial background or math skills. As part of Jolley's teaching approach to financial independence and to ensure the program is easy for everyone to use, he also provides a free tutorial on the website, clear instructions on how to download the program, and free support, all at no cost to the consumer. Jolley boasts, "the Rapid Debt Reducer is free…and so is your financial future."

Chapter Three: Time and Consistency

2008-07-16T07:48:00.005-04:00

The next key towards your financial freedom will depend on how you use time. Time combined with rate of return and consistency, is a powerful key to achieving financial freedom. Time can make a disastrous financial system right. It pays to start investing early. When you’re young you can save small amounts, verses waiting to save at which time you will have to save more. Time can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Look at the parents who deposited money at their child’s birth. Look at the end result if they had waited to save until their child was 16 years old; or until their child was 40 years old.

Add Consistency to Time:
If you do not have a lump sum to start investing with, then invest smaller amounts on a consistent basis.

The Power of Compound Interest:
Compound interest is one of the most powerful ways to wealth. Here’s how it works (based on a $1,000 deposit):

Year 1 6% interest = $ 1,062
Year 2 6% interest = $ 1,128
Year 65 6% interest = $48,925

Just A Little More Grows Even Faster:
If you were to save $80 more a month, than the $20 you normally save, over 40 years you would save $600,000 more.

The Importance of Rate of Return:
The interest rate, also known, as the rate of return, is critical to building your financial wealth. For example, if you invested $1,000 over a period of 65 years, your investment would be based upon the rate of return. For example:

6% rate of return 65 years = $ 48,900
9% rate of return 65 years = $ 339,700
12% rate of return 65 years = $2,347,800

It’s obvious why the rate of return on your savings will have a profound impact on your financial security. You can accumulate cash in your savings in two ways: 1) save more money and accept a lower rate of return or 2) save less at a higher rate of return.

Chapter Two: Pay Yourself First

2008-06-20T12:43:00.005-04:00

Did you know that the average wage earner would have earned over 1.8 million dollars throughout their lifetime? So at some point we are all millionaires. If we are all millionaires, then how come most of us do not have a million dollars in the bank? The answer to this is simple - it is not important what you earn, it is important what you keep.

You’re probably, thinking right about now that it is easier said than done. Let’s face it, after bills, taxes, school, etc…you hardly have money leftover. That is why it is critical that you pay yourself first. Here’s how.

Put Yourself at the Head of the line:
This means that before anyone else gets your money (i.e. the gas company, grocery store, etc…), you pay yourself by putting a set amount aside in a savings or investment account. Later on, in chapter 8, you will see how you will be able to derive a set amount, by following the Rapid Debt Reducer. The ideal amount is to set aside 10% of your income. Starting out it may be less; however, the Rapid Debt Reducer program will show you how, over time you will be able to comfortably set aside 10% or more of your income.

After you figure out how you are going to pay yourself first, then you need to figure out where to put the money. In order to have a complete savings program there are three accounts you need. You will need to establish an emergency fund account, a short-term savings account and a long-term savings/investment account.

Emergency Fund:
This fund is for when emergencies arise, such as, an unexpected expense, job loss, serious medical issue, etc… It is a good idea to have three months’ earnings in your emergency fund account.

Short-Term Savings Account:
This account is so that you can keep your credit cards back in your wallet (better yet, back in the freezer). The short-term savings account is money set aside for expenses such as a vacation or new computer.

Long-Term Savings Account:
In this account, you will put your money for retirement, your children’s college funds and other long-range savings goals. It is important to invest the cash for this account into some form of an investment vehicle, such as a mutual fund, IRA, or Savings bonds. You may want to consult a financial advisor for various options.

So now that you have paid yourself first and set-up accounts to place your savings in you have taken the first step towards financial freedom. In order to stay on that road you may want to think about using direct deposit for your savings. This will take away any temptation you may have about not wanting to pay yourself first. Trust me, there will be times when you have an extra $25 and you will want to purchase that new CD, rather than add to your emergency fund. Don’t put yourself through this struggle use direct deposit.

Chapter One: Take Control

The first key to financial freedom is learning to control the things you can control. For example, you cannot control rising costs; however, you can save more. You may be thinking, right about now, “how can I save money if I can barely pay the bills?” Not to worry, help is on the way. No matter what your financial situation is or your income, there are always ways to free up funds for investments. Here’s how:

Ø Pay yourself first
Ø Adjust your priorities
Ø Adjust your lifestyle
Ø Earn additional income
Ø Re-align your assets
Ø Avoid Credit
Ø Set goals and have a plan

Pay yourself first:
Paying yourself first means putting you and your family before any other demands on your money. The best way to pay you first is to deposit a set amount every month into an investment program. (Remember do this first no matter what other financial obligations you may have).

Adjust your priorities:
In order to adjust your priorities, you first have to get a hold of your current situation. The best way of finding out where all your money is going is to jot down every penny you spend for a month. I guarantee that at the end of the month you will be amazed where your money is being spent.

Adjust your lifestyle:
Mick Jaeger said it best; you can’t always get what you want… So it goes with money. In order to take control of your financial life you have to make a conscious decision about your choices. A good exercise is to take a note pad and divide it down the middle. One side will be labeled “wants” and the other side “needs”. Fill in each column with your wants and needs. Then decide what is most important to you. Do you need a new car or do you want a new car?

Earn Additional Income:
If you want to make significant progress in your financial life and you feel that paying yourself $25 just isn’t enough, then consider taking on a part-time job. That way you can use the extra income to start your investing program with.

Re-Align your assets:
This means that you move assets you have around to free up cash. By re-aligning your assets you may be able to free up enough money to start your investment program.

Avoid Credit:
The only way to win the credit battle is to pay cash. Try to avoid using credit cards. However, if you find yourself in a situation where you must, then pay off your charges at the end of the billing period. Otherwise you may incur fiancé charges.

Set Goals and have a plan:
We all need a map of some sort in order to guide ourselves to whatever destination we may choose. You must have financial goals in order to achieve his/her financial dreams. It is important to set-up short-term goals as well as long-term goals.

Introduction: There Is A Need:

If you dream of living debt-free as the bills pile up, you're not alone. A survey of 1,000 consumers found that most people have no strategy to manage their debt, and some who struggle to make monthly payments still plan to go deeper in the hole with big-ticket purchases. The typical U.S. household carries $9,200 in credit card debt. The U.S. Federal Reserve reports that debt levels of U.S. households fell $8.7 billion in November after a sharp drop in charge card and credit activity. Total consumer debt fell 5% to a seasonally adjusted $2.085 trillion, including a $7.2 billion decline in revolving credit such as credit cards, non-revolving credit, including car loans, tuition and vacations, fell $1.5 billion. The monthly decline was the largest since January 1943, when the Fed began collecting consumer-credit data. Wall Street analysts expected consumer credit to increase by $6 billion in November. However, the Federal Reserve revised October's consumer-credit increase to $9.6 billion, up from the originally reported $7.7 billion rise.

When securing a consumer loan, understand the cost--the points, fees and other charges. Understand the term, or length, of the loan, because low payments over a long term are expensive. With credit cards, understand the escalation clauses that will increase the interest rate--a late payment or a large balance, for example. This can bump you up to 20% from the introductory rate. Finally, read the disclosure statements because this is all spelled out. The survey underscores the gap between consumers' intentions to reduce debt and their current spending:

80% of the respondents said they don't plan to seek professional help to manage their finances or debt.
30% said they’d develop a plan on their own.
13% said they have no intention of developing any kind of financial plan.
33% of those concerned about their debt have a debt-to-income ratio of 50% or above, about
10% higher than the national average. Nearly 25% have a debt-to-income ratio exceeding 50%. Many financial planners say a debt-to-income ratio of about 33% is manageable.
19% of respondents concerned about debt said they plan to purchase a car in 2005, and 21% plan to make home improvements valued at more than $3,000.
76% have outstanding balances on their credit cards or have personal loans, and 37% of those make only the minimum monthly payment.

Despite growing debt and lack of a budget, 40% of the respondents said they're knowledgeable about personal finance. Experts say that the best way to combat debt is to make a plan to manage debt and stick to it, and to be an educated borrower. The following post will help you map out a plan that will result in the elimination of your debt and help you start on the road to financial prosperity. Live Life Abundantly Debt Free
