Do not borrow money to finance things that do not bring you money. For example, why should you get a loan to buy a car when it does not help you to make money? You should also avoid buying luxury items

I always.know how much I have and live within my means. It's very hard for most people to avoid debts because we want more luxury and enjoyment than necessary. Some people have to do it because they want to start a business, or to cater for emergencies.
Planning ahead can help you reduce those expenses.

There are many people who always spend money on things they may not require in the first place. Many people buy cars when they could purchase motorcycle as an alternative option, which is quite cheaper as well.

There's an adage that says "don't bite more than you can chew". Try as much as possible to live within your means of income, don't desire things your money can't buy rather go for things you can afford. Avoid loans, they kill your profit and make you work for them. The interest you pay in loans could have been used to expand your business so avoid debts as much as possible.

There are plenty ways to avoid falling into debt. One of the ways I use to avoid falling into debt is to Cut out the wants and focus on the needs alone. Most times, I also ensure I budget and follow my budgeting squarely.

And you should not spend more money than what you earn. Spending more than what you earn will put you in debt that you may not be able to pay up. Stay away from it.

In order to cut your spending, you will have to separate your necessities from wants and wishes. While paying rent is a necessity, dining in a posh restaurant is a want. If you do not have a lot of money, you will have to cut your unnecessary spending.

Have a budget, even on apps on the phone or excel tracker. This way you know what is due and what needs to be paid, if in debt. I personally do not want to borrow money from anyone, I try to live below my means, but when the time comes like emergency medical expenses that I cannot afford, I want to be organized and keep up with the payments if I need to borrow. I want people who borrowed from me to pay me back, and that is what I will do if I need to borrow money.

Not taking loans is perfectly understandable. However, in order to avoid bad debts, people should also emphasise on saving money and also making more money. When this happens, you no longer need to borrow money. Hence this also allows you to avoid bad debts as well.

Sometimes you can't stop it. Debt comes from many areas. I have student loan debt yet, and haven't paid it off. I want to, but it's going to take time, maybe my whole life.

The best thing you can do, is be responsible with money. Budget, put away in savings, invest if you can, and so on. Don't buy things you don't need.

Well, I have never borrowed money. I can understand that there are many people who have borrowed money as students in many western countries. However, things are pretty different where I live. In many tier 3 countries, many people do not even pursue education when they are not able to afford to do so.

Controlling the urge to spend money is one of the hardest things to do because there are many people who have a really harder time controlling their urges. They have to seek counselling.

You need to count every penny, look at how much money you make, and then think if I really need to take a loan or not. People who are in debt face a lot of problems, so if you don't want to experience these problems, you need to make sure you will be able to pay it back in time.

Being into debt is something that is very bad because it will always leave you frustrated and even cause a lot of health challenges for you if you're not careful. I know a man who ended up suffering high blood pressure because he was into debt.
