🥶 Struggling With Credit Card Debt? Literally Freeze Your Cards
Struggling with credit card debt? You’re not alone. Americans collectively owed more than $1 trillion to credit card companies entering the third quarter of this year.
“Let go of embarrassment. Let go of shame. Do not beat yourself up. That doesn’t solve the problem,” Clark says. “Don’t hide from your bills. Don’t pick on yourself. Instead, develop a plan.”
For a typical card, if you only pay the minimum each month, you won’t pay it off until the 2050s or 2060s, Clark says. And that’s assuming you aren’t adding any charges to the card.
Take drastic action if credit card debt is a problem for you. You may need your freezer – literally.
Get a freezer bag
Put water in it
Put all your credit cards in it
Seal it
Put it in the freezer
Use a debit card if you’re shopping somewhere they don’t take cash
Find a way to pay more than the minimums each month
“The power you feel if you get on a path of paying down that debt and month by month you see that balance wearing away, the power that’s coming back into your life is enormous,” Clark says.
