However, there are lots of clever ways to pay off debt quicker and help you to become debt free. Simply make a list of all the debt you have. This is everything that you pay to a creditor and includes any loans, credit cards, financed items such as the finance on your car or furniture and also the big one, your mortgage.

You should know:

1. How much the debt is for or the total amount
2. How much is left to pay off the debt
3. What you pay every month
4. How many months you have left to pay
5. AND the interest rate you are being charged

If you then add up all the monthly payments (number 4 above) then this is what you have to pay every month. Once you have worked this out then you are in a good position to start working out the fastest and cheapest way to clear this debt.
