Consumers of all income levels are being stretched to their financial limits and haven’t taken a course of action to improve their financial situation. Thus, consumers that haven't acknowledged the state of their finances, changed their lifestyle or reduced their spending, may be frozen by fear and confusion, consequently resulting in bad debts and credit history, as well as the inability to save money.
Being in debt can be extremely overwhelming. Factors such as buying a new house or car, or taking a holiday can feel very far out of reach.

Taking stock of your finances:
Consumers need a clear idea of the current state of their finances in order to figure out the best way to deal with their debts. Taking stock of your finances can be done simply by:
Comparing monthly spending to monthly income. Prepare yourself for a shock. Most people underestimate the amount that they actually spend relative to what they earn.
By doing this comparison, you may quickly realise that you're spending your way into a hole. If that's the case, you must reduce your spending to meet your financial obligations.
