Add everything up. You will immediately see what you can cut back on. You can easily create such an overview on paper or in Excel.
Cut Back

Go to a cheap supermarket and stick to your list. Choose the products that are low on the shelf, these are often the house brands.
Get Help on Time
Call the agency or send a letter. Explain what’s going on, tell how long it’s going to take, and make a payment proposal. If you find that difficult Go to your town. There are people at the counter who are happy to help you. This can be done anonymously. And remember, a low debt is easier to resolve than a high one.
Track All Expenses
Keep a cash book and write down all your expenses. Also, that one pack of chewing gum that you paid from the change. Calculate what you can spend weekly. Do not withdraw money more than once a week and pay everything in cash. Really try to keep this up. That way you can save yourself from the financial problems.
