Article by Dan Delgado

Debt and stress in these modern times go hand in hand, two ways to avoid the stress of debt are to live within our means and budget properly.

Most if not all family affairs are directly linked to our finances, school, health, mortgage, and so on; our lives revolve around the money we earn. Proper budgeting and not living beyond our means are two simple but very effective ways to avoid falling into the debt trap, unfortunately most Americans do not live by this advise. The average debt for an American family is approximately ,000.00. This figure may not sound like much or scare many people, but the simple fact is an adverse situation may change the way we look at this debt.

Job loss, illness, divorce, etc.. are some of the main reasons many people cannot keep up with their debt. It only takes a small calamity to send our financial future into turmoil, but if we have budgeted correctly and lived within our means maybe we can weather the storm.

Again, there is the other face of the coin, not many of us are prepared to face the adversity of debt, in this case it may be necessary to contact the creditors and seek a reduction on interest rates or maybe even ask for a reduced payout. A reduced pay out is also known as a settlement, or a discount on the amount owed to a particular creditor. When we follow this route we are reducing debt and therefore reducing stress.

Some accounts may be easier to negotiate settlements on than others, different credit companies have different criteria regarding when and whom to settle with. We must be prepared to provide financial statements such as pay stubs, a legitimate hardship, etc.. A hardship is simply putting on paper the reason or reasons why the regular monthly payments cannot be kept up with.

Besides providing such information some of these creditors may suggest their clients seek help in the form of debt relief. There are many types of debt relief, but the two most conventional are consolidation or negotiation of debt. The best an! d fastes t way to save larger amounts of money on debt is to negotiate settlements.

Debt negotiation has become an extremely popular alternative for those in financial trouble, for those people that have an absolute hardship it is an even more reliable way to climb out of debt. In short, debt negotiation satisfies both the creditor and the debtor, bringing them together to mediate a way out of the debt. Special arbitrators or mediators are available to help out in this endeavor, which will help reduce stress and debt at the same time.
