Anyone suffering under the crushing weight of debt knows how impossible it can seem to find a way out. It’s overwhelming – and the more complicated the proposed solution, the harder it is to stick with it. That’s why “The Debt-Free Spending Plan” is simple. It doesn’t require sifting through chapters of high-minded financial advice or digging up your past spending history. It assumes you need help right now, and gives it to you. You will learn to: downsize expenses without feeling deprived; allocate money as it comes in and put together an easy-to-manage bill-paying plan; adjust for inevitable overspending; and, pay off debt without gouging expenses and (believe it or not) start saving. The plan is clear, easy, and takes just five minutes a day-and it doesn’t matter if you make $14,000 or $14 million. With straightforward daily spending strategies and effortless expense tracking tools, you will soon find yourself on the road to financial freedom-all before the next billing cycle.

The coming Russian debt crisis will rival the Russian financial crisis of 1998. The critical point is that Russia and the Russians must turn to the credit markets if they can not meet their current cash flow needs. If the credit markets reject Russian borrowers because of bad credit ratings (three Cs of credit), Russia and the Russians will be out of cash. To me, this is a debt crisis that will exacerbate the coming Russian Financial crisis. If you can not raise or pay/service current debt, that is a debt crisis. Although in the West there is higher Debt to GDP ratios, that is not as relevant currently as Western nations can raise new debt and meet their financial obligations.
Simply put, a crisis is when you can not pay your bills. This is based on the economic idea of scarcity, infinite wants, and limited resources. We all must make trade, and Russia will have to make a choice. The myth is Russians have limitless resources. They do not. They have a failing one-commodity mechanist business model. The choice is to reform and rejoin the international community of democracies and respect human rights or face a debt and financial crisis of historical proportions.

Debt counseling and debt review is expected to offer people who are over-indebted a way to negotiate a more affordable repayment plan with their creditors. The process of debt counseling is provided for in the National Credit Act (NCA), , and applies to credit agreements entered into before and after that date.
If you are struggling to pay your debts, facing legal action or you are about to have your vehicle and/or property repossessed, you can approach a Help with debt, debt counselor and ask him or her to review your situation.
Alternatively, a credit provider, such as your bank or a retailer, may refer you to a Help with debt, debt counselor if you fail to meet your repayment obligations.
There are no restrictions on who can use Debt counseling and debt review trough Help with debt, – anyone from any income group and who owes any amount of debt can apply for debt counseling. Through Help with debt
Help with debt, Debt counselors are entitled to charge you an upfront fee of R50 plus VAT for an application to have your debt reviewed. A Retainer of R300 will be kept as early cancellation fee. This R300 will be deducted off the Rehabilitation fee payable
Most also charge you substantially more for an initial review of your debts, and Help with debt may offer to review your debts on an ongoing basis, for which they will also charge a fee. But as yet there are no set amounts that Help with debt, debt counselors may or may not charge for initial and ongoing reviews.
The National Credit Regulator (NCR) plans to help lower-income earners by paying their Help with debt, debt counselors’ fees.
Before determining whether or not to accept your application to review your debt, a Help with debt, debt counselor must consider your debts and financial obligations to determine whether you are over-indebted. The NCA describes over-indebtedness as a situation in which you are or will be unable to meet all your debt obligations timorously.
A Help with debt, debt counselor will investigate your existing income and your income-earning prospects, and all your current financial obligations.
Once a Help with debt, debt counselor has accepted your application, he or she will inform all your creditors and every registered credit bureau that you have applied for debt counseling. You will not be able to access any further credit until your debts have been repaid. You will even have to cut up your credit and store cards.
The Help with debt, debt counselor will then consider your debts and financial obligations to determine what you can afford to repay each month, and will enter into negotiations with your creditors to restructure your debt.
If your creditors agree to the repayment proposal put forward by the Help with debt, debt counselor, the counselor will apply to the National Consumer Tribunal for a consent order for the repayment plan.
If your all creditors do not agree to the plan, the Help with debt, debt counselor will take the plan to a magistrate’s court, and the court will have to decide what is a fair repayment plan. In this case you could face further charges for the cost of hiring lawyers to represent your case in court.
Reckless lending
If a Help with debt, debt counselor suspects that you were given credit recklessly because you could not afford it, he or she can ask a court to decide if this was indeed the case and if so to suspend the agreement or set it aside.
Once your repayment plan is agreed, you will make payments to a distribution agency registered with the NCR and it will distribute what you pay to your creditors. The agency will be paid by way of a fee from the creditors.

Dental hygienist Liz and truck driver Will are engaged in a destructive spending game. Control freak Liz handles all the finances while keeping Will on a tight leash, yet still spends a lavish amount on clothes for herself, their baby and their dog. In retaliation, Will takes out costly cash advances. They’ve refinanced their home several times to hide debt in their mortgage to the point they now owe more than the house is worth. Getting this couple back on track means reigning in the spending, finding ways to re-build equity in their home and getting rid of the resentment between them. Gail finds way to get them fighting their debt rather than each other. –

Interest rates have become a hot topic over the past six months. Back in 2020 and 2021, homeowners were bragging to their friends about their rock-bottom mortgage rates and how they secured financing at three percent or less! But times have changed, and seven percent interest rates are becoming the norm. Now, nobody is bragging—in fact, many investors are too scared to buy, thinking that today’s interest rates are far too high to buy homes with. If you’re following this thought process, you could be making a BIG mistake.

Welcome back with another Seeing Greene episode, where our “high rates, who cares?” host, David Greene, answers questions directly from investors just like you. In today’s show, David coaches a young investor on building his side business, why quitting your job could be a mistake, and how to learn from past deals to build wealth far faster. Then, David pivots into answering questions from investors on how to get over your fear of taking on good debt, how much to have in safety reserves for your property, and why being scared of high interest rates could hurt you in the long run.
