The Best Debt Free Software

By Sean Payne

If you're still in debt, you may have noticed that many people who have successfully gotten out of debt tend to use some kind of debt free software. There's a reason for why they do this: It works great!

There's a saying that Success leaves clues. This means that people who are successful in getting out of debt have done specific things that got them out of debt, and that by doing the same things that they've done, you can get out of debt, too.

Most people who have successfully gotten out of debt did so by making a plan to pay off their debts, and then working their plan. If you have made a plan for paying off your debts, the right debt-free software will help you stick with your plan.

The best software for getting out of debt is called budgeting software. I like to use a spreadsheet program known as "You Need A Budget". It has done so much to help me get out of debt. I credit my success in getting out of debt to my budgeting spreadsheet program.

There are plenty of other excellent budgeting software programs. One of the "big daddies" of budgeting is called Mvelopes Personal, which is a web-based budgeting program that lets you work with your budget from almost anywhere that has an Internet connection. Mvelopes also looks at your bank accounts to automatically enter transactions into your budget.

A free budgeting program that you can use is called Mint. Mint is another web-based budget that doesn't cost you anything to use. A unique feature of Mint that is really great for users is that it compares that rates you pay on your debt to new offers from credit card issuers. Then, if it discovers a card that charges a lower rate, it will notify you so that you can save up to thousands of dollars on your debt while you're paying it off. It will do the same thing for bank accounts - if it finds a bank that pays higher interest on its accounts, Mint will let you know about it, potentially letting you earn a lot more money on your savings accounts.

In addition to budgeting programs, there are plenty of other debt reduction software programs that will help you follow your plan for getting out of debt.

Intuit's Quicken and Microsoft's Money are both programs that can help you so create a budget and manage the rest of your finances. Both of these programs have related capabilities, so whichever one you decide to use, they'll both do about the same thing. One of the complaints I have about these two programs is that they do too much. They have so many features that you will probably be distracted from your plan to get out of debt.

My advice is to stick with a simple budgeting program that helps you track your expenses, income, and debts. don't get caught up in complicated software that does more than you need it to. Even a spreadsheet that you create can help, but I recommend that you use software that has a good reputation of helping others to get out of debt.

Regardless of which software you use to help you get out of debt, start today, and continue to use the same software until you get out of debt. Be consistent in using it, daily or weekly depending on your situation, and your software program will help you to quickly get out of debt. - 23305
