STAY POSITIVE ABOUT DEBT REVIEW<br />

BUDGET VS<br />

LIVING<br />

EXPENSES<br />

Most people find that over the years<br />

their cost of living increases faster<br />

than any increase in salary. This<br />

is common both for those in and<br />

those outside debt review.<br />

Recently one national Debt Counselling<br />

practice showed how most people have lost<br />

about 5% buying power each year since 2016.<br />

This is because inflation is growing faster than<br />

most people’s income.<br />

What this means, is that consumers who enter<br />

debt review should be vigilant in cutting costs<br />

and shopping smarter throughout their debt<br />

review, or they will eventually find they cannot<br />

keep up with their planned debt repayments<br />

and still have what they need each month (like<br />

food).
