A Fin24 user asks:
My life has become a debt nightmare, just yesterday I was preparing my so called budget and I’m ashamed of what it looks like.
With five loans (2 Capitec, 1 African bank, 1 Absa, 1 Wonga), a flat(rent, water and electricity), car payments, a Markham account, insurances and a Presles account.
I forgot a bank overdraft and a credit card.
I’m only left with R600 at the end of the month. I must admit I’m swimming in a pool of debt all of my own doing.
No one forced me to take out those debts but because I wanted an easy way out I took them and now I’m in big trouble.
How do I get out of this mess? I want to start saving for my studies, buy my own house and have financial security.
With this said I don’t even have a savings plan for rainy days and I know it is very wrong.
So far all my debts are paid up to date but this is not a way to live.
I’m desperate, please help me beat this monster called debt.
