But now comes the big question: <strong>how do you actually pay all of it off?<\/strong> Not all bills are the same. A credit card bill, a student loan and a medical bill each come with different rules, costs and strategies to tackle them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re going to dig in by debt type, giving you clear, simple strategies to pay them off faster with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accrediteddebtrelief.com\/blog\/8-tips-to-achieve-financial-freedom\/\">less stress<\/a> \u2014 and more confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Credit Card Debt: High Interest, High Priority<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Few things can be simpler than racking up credit card debt. The hard part is paying it off: And with the high interest common in the marketplace today, you could find yourself battling against rates of 20% or more as you pay down your debt. If you only make minimum payments, your balance shrinks very slowly while interest keeps growing. That\u2019s why it\u2019s one of the most expensive types of debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Two Smart DIY Strategies to Pay Off Credit Card Debt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The <\/strong><strong>Debt Avalanche<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>This method is popular for a reason: it\u2019s effective at undercutting the money-drain that is high credit card interest rates. Here are the basics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>List all your cards and their interest rates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep paying the minimum on all your cards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take any extra money and put it toward the card with the highest interest rate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Debt Snowball<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The Snowball Method focuses on easy wins first to help you build momentum. Here\u2019s how to do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>List all your cards and the amount you owe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep paying the minimum on all cards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Put all extra money toward the smallest balance first.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bonus Tip: Call Your Creditors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Calling your credit card company to negotiate a lower rate can be a powerful method to slow building debt. However, proceed with caution: Creditors may deny your request or reduce your rate only after several calls. So if you have the time, patience and willpower, this approach might be worth a shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Student Loans: Know the Type, Know the Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two main types of student loans: Federal and Private. Given by the government, Federal Student Loans have more flexible rules and repayment policies. Private loans, on the other hand, tend to have fewer repayment choices and stricter terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Federal Student Loan Payment Plans That Make Life Easier<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Income-Driven Repayment (IDR)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Income-driven repayment plans factor in your actual earnings to determine your student loan payment. So if you\u2019re un- or under-employed, an income-driven repayment plan can introduce instant financial flexibility on a tight budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PSLF and Other Loan Forgiveness Programs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some public service jobs \u2014 like teaching, nursing or social work \u2014 may qualify for <a href=\"https:\/\/studentaid.gov\/manage-loans\/forgiveness-cancellation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">loan forgiveness<\/a>. That means part of your loan could be erased if you work in that job for a certain number of years. But it\u2019s worth mentioning that these programs can be difficult to navigate \u2014 it\u2019s a good idea to do your research and ensure you\u2019re filing the correct paperwork before you make other long-term financial plans.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For Private Loans: Refinancing for Lower Interest Rates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your credit score is solid, you might be able to refinance your student loans. That means you take out a new loan with a lower interest rate to replace your old one. This can lower your monthly payments or help you pay off the loan faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Medical Bills: Don\u2019t Just Pay\u2014Ask Questions First<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A staggering number of medical bills have inaccuracies: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcchicago.com\/consumer\/unfairly-overcharged-medical-billing-errors-are-common-and-costly-heres-how-to-spot-them-before-paying\/3156984\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A 2016 survey<\/a> from a hospital trade publication estimated that nearly 80% of medical bills have some form of inaccuracy. If something doesn\u2019t look right, be sure to reach out to your provider and ask for an itemized bill.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Errors in Medical Bills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Charges for services you didn\u2019t receive<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duplicate charges<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorrect insurance processing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Negotiate the Total<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s always a good idea to call in and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumerreports.org\/money\/medical-billing\/hit-with-a-big-medical-bill-do-this-a2324099197\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">negotiate<\/a> medical bills. Hospitals would usually rather work with you than send the bill to collections. Ask your provider if they offer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A discount for paying in full<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An interest-free payment plan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A charity care program (for lower-income patients)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find a Patient Advocate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you feel overwhelmed, a patient advocate or billing specialist can help review your bills and speak to hospitals on your behalf. Some nonprofit groups even offer this service for free!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Car Loans and Mortgages: Shrink Them with Smart Payments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although car notes and mortgages typically have much, much lower interest rates than credit cards, debt payoff methods for all three are very similar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overpay Your Bills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even paying $25\u2013$50 more each month on your car loan or mortgage can make a big difference over time. That extra amount usually goes straight to the principal \u2014 the amount you originally borrowed \u2014 and not the interest. That means less interest over time and a faster path to being debt-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try Bi-Weekly Payments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of paying your loan once a month, split your monthly payment in half and pay every two weeks. (Just check that your lender allows it first!) This hack works surprisingly well because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You end up making 26 half-payments per year, vs. 12 full payments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>That\u2019s one extra full payment a year without feeling like a huge lift.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You\u2019ll pay off your loan faster and save on interest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Debt Consolidation is the Smart Solution for Unsecured Debt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve tried these methods and still can\u2019t catch a break, then debt consolidation is a solid option. It\u2019s the simple way to collect all your eligible unsecured debts \u2014like credit card bills and personal loans \u2014 into one, affordable monthly payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How It Helps:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You could save 40% or more on your eligible monthly payment by starting a debt consolidation program<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Our structured program can help you become debt-free in as little as 24 \u2013 48 months.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regain instant financial flexibility and get support from people who support your journey.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Pursuing financial freedom is a major step in the right direction.
