Not all debt is bad. A mortgage might help you build equity. A student loan might have opened doors in your career. Even a credit card could be a helpful tool when used wisely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But sometimes, the debt that once made sense stops making sense. It outgrows your income<\/a>, eats up your savings or adds stress where there used to be stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how do you know when it\u2019s time to rethink what you owe? Here are three questions to help you check in \u2014 and adjust, if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Is Your Debt Helping You Move Forward \u2014 or Holding You Back?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some debts support your life: a manageable mortgage, a fixed-rate student loan or a car loan you\u2019re on track to pay off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when you start taking from your savings to replenish an empty checking account or moving debt from credit card to credit card, that\u2019s a red flag<\/a>. When your bills come due and you find that there is no room to add to your emergency fund or pay off your credit card balance, you need to take a step back and reevaluate your choices.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Are You Carrying Old Debts Into a New Season?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Life changes, and your debt strategy should change with it<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you took on a personal loan during a rough patch, but now your income has improved. Or maybe you\u2019re entering a season where you need to cut back \u2014 like saving for a big move, downsizing or preparing for retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re still using the same plan (or no plan) you had five years ago, it might be costing you more than it needs to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try this:<\/strong> Survey each of your debts and ask yourself: \u201cWould I take this on again today?\u201d If the answer is no, that debt might need to be one of the first on the chopping block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Is Your Debt Still Manageable \u2014 Or Just Familiar?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some debts \u2014 like credit card debts over $10,000 \u2014 can have long lives. But just because that debt\u2019s \u201cbecome a part of the furniture\u201d doesn\u2019t mean you need to keep it around any longer than you should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re juggling multiple high-interest debts or just can\u2019t seem to make progress, consider options that could lighten the load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Debt consolidation might be one of them. It can combine all your eligible debts into a single, lower monthly payment and help you become debt-free in 24\u201348 months \u2014 often with less stress and more breathing room<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Thought: Debt Should Fit Your Life \u2014 Not Control It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s easy to let debt become \u201cjust the way things are.\u201d But your money should support your life \u2014 not run it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to overhaul everything today. But you can take a small step. Revisit your balances. Ask the hard question. Make a call. After all, your life isn\u2019t static \u2014 and your debt plan shouldn\u2019t be either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
