In this episode of the Money Matters Podcast, hosts Richard Hill and Nia Parks address the all-too-common issue of relying on credit cards for essential purchases like groceries and necessities. If cash is running low and you’re turning to credit to cover basic expenses, it’s time to break the cycle. Richard and Nia discuss practical steps to regain control of your finances, from creating a comprehensive budget to building an emergency fund.
They emphasize the importance of distinguishing between needs and wants, cutting back on non-essential expenses, and saving a little each month to create a financial cushion. The episode also highlights the benefits of seeking expert credit counseling. Credit counselors can help you negotiate lower interest rates, create a manageable repayment plan, and provide strategies to manage your debt more effectively.
