Once you have the approval of your creditors that will accept your plan, start paying the smallest bill first. Pay two times the minimum, do this until it’s paid off. As soon as you complete this task, start paying the next highest using this minimum plus the same money you were using paying the first bill.

You will continue this cycle until you are out of debt. This will prevent your creditors from taking you to court and getting a judgment against you. It will keep those collection company at bay while you are buying time.

While you are repaying your debt, take part of this cash flow and establish a emergency fund. At a minimum try saving three months of your mortgage and car payment. This is obvious reason. Now you have a target on what to save.

Now to accelerate getting out of debt, you need to start your own business. It doesn’t matter what, just as long as you can start right now for little or no cost. And yes, you can make a lot of money on the internet for little and no cost.
