We have seen in other articles, how to plan payments or reduce debts. But whenever we talked about big bills that we all suffer: mortgage, car, electricity, water, telephones … But one factor that few pay attention and can lead to a change in our financial situation: small expenses.
Every day we spend money on things not essential to maintain our standard of living. For example, we take coffee in the cafeteria, smoke, buy gum, called continually on the phone, press buy, buy bottled water, etc.

It is not gold that glitters. While credit cards provide immediate financial assistance, also open the door to claims in your life. When you have several credit card debt can consolidate them.
With the popularity of credit cards and their use becoming more common, people with debts and the amount of debt is increasing at a rapid pace.
One solution to reduce credit card debt is debt consolidation. Consolidation can carry out a loan or by transferring the debts of all the cards to one with a lower interest rate.
Example of consolidation of credit card debt
Suppose you have € 100 on one of your credit cards and the APR of the card is 18% if your debt is kept at 100 € for a year would pay about 18 € of interest. If you consolidate the debt of this credit card with a loan with a lower interest rate, or if you transfer debt to another credit card with a low interest rate, would save money.
If the loan or new credit card with an interest of 9% APR then in a year would save € 9 in interest. This may not seem like much, but if you save with a debt of € 9 100 €, think what you’d save with a debt of € 10,000, would save € 900 and if your debt is € 100,000 can save € 9,000. This saves you the amount you can use to offset other debts or pay the same debt in less time.
