Debt can easily take control of your finances, but the most important debt advice is to make sure that your debts don’t take control of your life.

This may be a little harder than it sounds, but by following the steps below, you should be able to remain in full control of your debts.

1. Keep track of your money

No matter what you do with your money, keep track of it. Write down whatever money comes into your account, and whatever money leaves your account.

Keeping a spending diary like this can help you remain in full control of your finances at all times. It may be helpful to follow this format when you are keeping track of your money:

- Minus $ (however much is paid out/spent – and on what)

- And so on…

The simple ’spending chart’ above will help you see exactly where you are spending your money. You will be able to see where you are spending on things you need and also where you are wasting money on things you don’t need.

Keeping track of your money like this should help you to improve your debt management skills. It should allow you to see if you can comfortably afford your debt repayments each month, and if you can’t, you should take immediate action. For example, you could seek professional debt advice.

2. Seeking debt advice
