Poorly managed debt will impact all other aspects of financial planning. If all your income goes towards repaying snowballing debt ️, you will not have enough money to set aside to build up your savings and emergency funds, or secure adequate protection policies for yourself and your loved ones, or invest for future growth in the long term.

At this stage, it’s best to prioritise building sustainable repayment plans to clear any outstanding payments. Managing your debt and getting to positive cash flow is the first step to putting your financial ladder on solid ground.

When you have brought debt down to a manageable level across all your commitments (home, car, credit cards, personal loans), it is time to prioritise building up your savings.

Examine your expenses to see if there are any aspects you can cut back on and put the extra towards savings. Every small and consistent contribution counts.
