First of all get a pen and paper and write down all your debts and total them. Immediately after that write down your income and if your debts are more than your income, then it means you have fallen into a serious debt trap. Meet a debt management counselor immediately and get him to consolidate your debts so that you are left with money to take care of your daily expenditure. Make it a point to cut down on unnecessary expenses, give back all your credit cards. Keep one credit card for emergency purposes and use it only in case of an emergency. Remember that you can get out of debt only if you impose restrictions on yourself and follow them. This would be your first step towards creating wealth.
