Question
How to consolidate debts and how to save
Answer
One should preferably consolidate and pay off debt before saving. The reason is because normally interest you pay on debt is so much higher than on money you save so it's better to first settle your debt.In any client's situation where they want to consolidate, it is necessary for you to consolidate not to be able to spend on accounts again but to save in interest. When you consolidate, the amount you pay per month is normally lower but the idea of consolidation is that you continue with your normal payment as if you did not consolidate (or as close to that payment as possible) and pay off your debt quicker. Then you can start saving and saving is only possible when one limits your expenses with a budget.
