You can decide to pay the largest amount first or pay the debt with the highest interest rate, but be sure to develop a strategy that works best for you and include that in the budget that you build monthly.

4. Review & Understand Financial Statements.

When your statements arrive, look through them! Make sure you are reading through your statements to monitor any changes to your APR, fees or fraud on your account.

Bank fees can be avoided if you are aware of the actions that trigger them. Some banks impose monthly service fees on your account if you fall below a certain balance. Set an alert on your bank when you are getting close to that amount to avoid incurring those charges.

5. Create Short Term and Long Term Goals.

Make a list of things you want to save for in the next six months and in the next few years and set a plan of action on how much you need to save weekly to reach your goal.
