Get Out of (Some) Debt Free Card

21 Nov

Two Yale law profs, Akhil Reed Amar and Ian Ayres, are suggesting that law schools offer to pay half of loan debts incurred if students decide to quit law school after receiving their grades at the end of their first semester. This isn’t always the answer if you are struggling with debt, you could contact a professional debt consolidation expert like the ones from CreditAssociates to learn how to get out of debt.

According to a debt consolidation expert, getting out of debt can be tough but it is possible if you are in control. Here are some ways on how you can be debt free:

A way to increase your income:

Not having an immediate job offer is one of the most common reasons of why people struggle to make ends meet. Some people are employed in the private sector and they have good income potential. They can apply for any job that they are interested in.

One way to increase your income is to learn how to make money through online courses or sales. A lot of people find ways to earn extra income as well. I have put together a list of online courses that I suggest you take a look at. Here are some of the courses that you might want to take:

The only thing that’s missing is how to make money as an entrepreneur.

Let me tell you what I think is missing here.

You can probably guess how I got into entrepreneurship.

It’s because I was a writer. And I had this great idea that I wanted to start my own business. I wanted to run my own business on my own terms and not in the way I had to. That’s how I got into it. But I have been successful since. I’m still in the game. I made a little bit of money off my previous business, but I took a real hit when I couldn’t get my company back on its feet. I tried and tried and tried, but it didn’t work. When I finally decided I had to get back to running my own business, my idea was to go to a small market and try and get this business started. You can’t really grow a business that way. I was still trying to figure out how to do it.
