I think we must able to limit our monthly spending, even difficult since everyone has a different style of shopping.One thing to consider in shopping habits is the different perceptions about personal spending limit. we should decide how much money we should spend every month and already include our saving plan as well..Get used to make a financial plan for a month in order to place the balance in revenue and expenditure. Then, evaluate your financial plan after a month of running.We should also has mutual agreement with our partner about this..What do you think about this? Can limit our spending ablt to help us get out from our debt?

Well, you are right.. financial problem is always become a problem for anybody maybe for adult …Many people get frustrated because of this financial issues..even they ruin relationship or divorce or even killing others due to having financial problem..So people must learn to be more relax and not always looking at the above but also below them..we must try to save money no matter what our desire to buy something..maybe we can save money earlier after received salary rather than later… appreciate your response…

Well, you are right.. Money is the root of the evil..sometimes we never realize that we just wasting our money by pay the interest of our credit cards or any loan..If we calculated those interests maybe we can do saving for the future of our children and also for our retirement..I have friend who able to save for his family and when he passed away, his family still survive until all children finish study.. appreciate your response…

While we were trying to get out of debt, we limited our spending quite a bit. now we allow ourselves to make planned purchases but we're still pretty careful. I think it's paid off because even though we will soon be making less money, we are building up a cushion.

Well, yes indeed.. we must limited our spending for the good and healthier of our pocket..we must not only think differently but must start to get rid of our loan or habit to use our credit card ..Understand that really easy to use credit card for many things..Let say like buying online ticket or do shopping at the shopping mall.. appreciate your response…

Limiting our spending is one of the most important things that we can do as people in order to save a little bit of money to make our future more bright. There was a time in my life that my husband and I weren't good at this, but we enrolled in a debt management plan two and a half years ago to help us get rid of our credit card debt and by doing that, we've been forced to live on less money than what we are making. Doing that has taught us to save money and also has taught us to live without credit cards. Both of these things are going to be very good for our future.

Well, you are right.. the hardest part of this money management is to starting something..we must start to stop our bad habit and get rid out of the use any credit card or loan for good..Both of you are really great able to free from credit cards debt..I think most people really hard to control their money usage because of the credit card..if we can do something like what you have done with your husband then our life will be easier in the long run… appreciate your response…

It is a must for every person to know how to plan and budget their money. I think we should keep it as habit. I do believe that if you know how to spend your money will keep you out of debt. It is just a matter on how you know what are your priorities when it comes to expenses. I, myself budgets my money enough. I make sure that I don't have any debt in this world.

Well, you are absolutely right.. you must be very organize and well plan guys..I almost forget the last time I live without any debt.. I think that was when I still at college.. when I was working for first company, there were sales credit card offered me to own credit card.. I was delighted when get accepted, well that was really a trap since I ended up with losing money by buying something that I did not really need…appreciate your response…

Well, that was like too good to be true..I think a proper financial plan should be develop when we still young and yet to married.. Once we married then we already have good habit and continue for the rest of our life..However, sometimes our spouse or partner also tend to change our good habit..meaning still depends on reality, as long as we have common understanding than should be no problem in the long run.. appreciate your response…

my advice is to get rid of credit cards all together and only use cash when buying purchases. always write down what you purchase and how much you spent. this way you can see where your money goes. budget your money according to greatest need, ie rent, food, etc. By doing this, you should be able to trim your debt.

Sure it can help you out from your debts.
First of all you need to know where you spend your money on.
Then make a list of shoppings.. what is necessary what not.
If the income is there pay off as much as possible and pay your bills at once.
What is left over is for food (we all can do without clothes, shoes, etc for some months). Don't buy by the internet, teleshopping, don't use credit cards or bank cards or cheques and don't borrow money.
Make a shopping list during the whole week. Before you go read the list and delete everything that is not necessary at that moment.
Pay your food cash and do those shoppings only once a week.
Go for what is cheaper, if what you need is not there don't buy the expensive kind.
Also see what you can end or change or can get cheaper (phone, tv guide, magazines, news paper, gas, etc).

well, you are right.. we should have those kind of list to help us budgeting and planning otherwise we will ended up to buy something we love to, not something we really need..I think internet will be great option if we live outside the town and unable to find goods in nearby town..Paying cash will be good option for groceries and daily needs...since it will be easier to control...appreciate your response..
