Ans: Referring to your query regarding the debt and uncertain expenses at all times. Please find some suggestions for your reference.

• Get a part-time job (Increase your Source of Income): If you have the time and energy, getting a part-time job can be a great way to earn extra money to pay down your debt.

• Make a budget: Once you have a good understanding of your cash flows, you can create a budget to help you track your spending and make sure your cash flow will be managed properly (Expenses are not more than your earnings)

• Prioritize your debts: Not all debts are the same. Some debts, like credit card bills, have higher interest rates, which means that you will be paying more in interest over time. Focus on paying off these debts first.

• Negotiate with your creditors: If you are struggling to make your payments, contact your creditors and see if they are willing to negotiate with you. Many creditors may adjust the repayment schedule you can afford.

There are some resources that may be helpful:

Debt relief organizations: There are a number of organizations that can help you get out of debt. They can provide you with counseling, and they can also help you negotiate with your creditors to reduce your payments or create a repayment plan.
• National Foundation for Credit Counseling: 1-800-388-2227
• Consumer Credit Counseling Service: 1-800-642-2227
• Credit Karma: 1-888-239-7066
