In a moment's time, the holiday season is upon us.
The time usually associated with shopping, spending, and throwing parties.
Which is why most people have a hard time paying their credit card bill afterward.
So, how can we reduce the debt amount? Here are 7 simple, easy-to-do ways to reduce your debts without spoiling your holidays:

1. Good planning.
   I cannot stress the importance of good planning as a countermeasure to battle your debt.
   Yes, granted, you may say that everyone already know that.
   I know.
   But does everyone do that? If you make a good plan of spending and adjust it to your capabilities, this can be the first step to reduce your debt.
   
2. Control yourself.
   Holiday season means big discounts, big promotions, big offers and a lot of things that you may have a hard time saying 'No!' to.
   In accordance to the first tip, by following your plan thoroughly, you can say no to what they offer you.
   
3. Be selective in paying your debt.
   If you have a number of debts to be paid, try to pay the biggest one first.
   Why? Because the bigger ones have higher interest rate.
   The interests is the one that can have the snowball effect and smacks you right up your face before you know what's going on.
   High interest over low interest, nuff said.
   
4. Always know where your limits are.
   By reviewing your financial capabilities you can set a limit to what maximum spending value that you're able to pay off immediately.
   Keep a good track on your expenses by a spending diary, perhaps.
   If you can do that, you will know how much and where are your money being spent.
   That way if you have to cut something, you know where to cut.
   
5. Keep it in one place.
   Debt consolidation can be one way to make paying your debt much, much easier.
   If you have many debts to be paid, putting them together makes them easier to pay.
   The main thing that you have to look out for is while you search for the means to consolidate your debts, make sure that you choose the one with the lowest interest rate.
   
6. If you're able too, get additional income.
   Part time jobs, side-jobs, extra job, whatever suit your tastes.
   Additional income means lower time to pay off all your debt.
   Do something that you like.
   Perhaps a hobby, interest, or something you're good at.
   This can be both lucrative and fun.
   
7. Ask for help.
   Having good debt advice or good debt plan can help you greatly.
   It's hard to calculate all the possible options if you're not the expert of the field.
   Why not try asking for help?

By doing these 7 simple steps you can make certain that your debt is not a lifelong problem.
In no time you will be able to pay them off, and then get the life free of debt!
