Learn How to Get Out of Debt Faster
Nobody wants to be in debt overload, but if you’re like most people, you probably don’t even know where to start to get yourself out of it.
Let A.C. Waring & Associates be your financial guide to get out of debt in Edmonton and surrounding areas, including Central and Northern Alberta.
Here are some basic tips for getting yourself out of debt:
- Always pay more than the bare minimum whenever possible.
This can apply to your credit card payments, your student loans, or your car payments. Paying extra on your monthly payments can help you pay off your total balance a lot quicker, as well as save you money in interest payments.
- Learn to save for what you want without spending more than what you actually make.
This may sound like common sense, but you’d be surprised how many people are spending more than their income. Remember, even millionaires can’t afford to buy everything they want.
- Pay off your biggest debts first and then work on the smaller debts.
If your credit card is charging you the most in annual interest, pay it off first. Then focus on the next debt, and so on. You’ll find yourself becoming more encouraged with each debt amount you successfully pay down.
- Opt for a dependable used car vs. buying a brand-new one.
Cars lose their value over time, and not having to make a monthly car payment will free up your income to make payments on your other debts.
- Become an extreme couponer.
Saving money on groceries and basic necessities will allow you to pay more on your debt. Watch for sales at your local store and stock up on non-perishable items. Clip coupons from your local newspaper or print them off online. Every little bit helps!
- Track your spending and look for ways to cut back.
You’d be surprised at all the ways you can save money when you actually try!
- Get a second job so you can pay down your debt.
There’s no shame in working more than one job to pay off your bills faster. Plenty of people are doing it these days, especially during the holiday season when many employers are looking for additional seasonal help.
- Refinance your mortgage or get a consolidation loan.
When you consolidate all of your debts into one loan or one mortgage payment, you may obtain a lower interest rate.

Thank you so much for being there for us, for helping us out and for giving us a second chance at our financial life. If it wasn’t for you we would not be where we are right now and probably would not have been able to move back home this quickly and unexpectedly.
So thank you for all that you have done for us and continue to do. You and your company have been a life saver, changed our lives (both us and kids) in all aspects and ways possible! We will forever be grateful to you and hopefully one day be able to physically see you and give you a HUGE hug.

I am writing this letter to thank you and your Company for your assistance at my hard times. I was your client in 2015-2017. At that period you supported me both financially and even psychologically.

Moreover, you and your highly qualified personnel, especially Beth Bui, who was my adviser at that time, did your best. As a result, I even managed to avoid my depression.

Dear Laverne,
Just a short note to thank you for all your help involving my file (sorry I’m a bit tardy sending you this card).

All the best to you in the future, take care.
Sincerely,”

Hi AnneMarie,
I am sorry for the late reply. I received the discharge 2 weeks ago. At work, there’re a lot of things to do. Home is no different. I thank you and A.C. Waring & Associates Inc. very very much for helping me. Without A.C. Waring & Associates and you, my life would have been miserable. With your help and ADDAC classes, I am on the right track. I want to be on this track forever. I don’t want to think of the place that ruined my life. I was not very smart when I made this big mistake.
Thank you AnneMarie,”
