Answer -
- I have reduced and controlled my debt by repaying off major
chunks of my debt as my first priority before considering any other
expense. I had made this a system so that every month I pay off
large chunks of my debt and complete all of it soon.
- For the future, my plan is to save enough for lumpsum payment
and avoid debt or borrowing as much as possible. If at all I take a
debt, I will make sure it does not exceed 20% of the overall value
and pay the rest from my savings.
- I remain accountable by
- Planning on large expenses based on my savings
- Tracking all expenses and investments carefully
- Yes, whenever I reach a milestone like for example I could
purchase a wishlist item with no or minimum debt then I reward my
self by eating a luxury dinner just one day to celebrate my
sacrifices for saving that money till date.
