Hub You - 5 Steps to Getting Out of Debt

1. Change Your Habits
This can be the hardest step but you need to stop getting further into debt and take a 180. Open your wallet and take out all of your credit cards and only spend what you have.

2. Track Your Spending
Find out where your money is going! Track where every penny goes for one week from gas to your morning latte.

3. Make a Budget and a Plan
Now that you have an idea of where your money goes, start evaluating where you can cut costs and how much of your income you can put towards paying off your debt. Set goals that are achievable like "Pay down half of Visa card in 8 weeks".

4. Start a Savings Account
If you lost your job today or your car needed major repairs, would you be able to make ends meet? If not, then start putting aside a set amount each month. The general rule of thumb is that you should have a nest egg of 3 months salary in savings. If you can only do $50 a month, you are still putting yourself in a better situation than you were.<

Customer Service: Are You Being Served?

Companies always talk up their high levels of customer service, but where is it. For the most part, it's lousy - and getting worse everyday.

(What are companies actually doing to improve customer service?) Thousands of men and women work in what economists misleadingly call the service sector continue to use the scripts they were given during their training that when you ask them a question that is not in their scripts, most of the time- they hang up on you. This pushes a lot of people to either not use that particular credit card anymore or not use that company’s services or products.
