Lexington, Kentucky - 12/9/2005
For many, debt is considered a normal part of life. This time of the year consumers think with their hearts instead of with their minds. The after effects can leave them overwhelmed with regret and anxiety. Any debt resource must provide both a comprehensive and detailed approach to consumer debt. Consumers must now become their own advocates through education.
Consumers have relied on debt consolidation services extensively, but for most it\'s only added to the confusion. Once someone consolidates into one debt, they can sometimes convince themselves that they've dealt with the problem when, at best, they\'ve been on a treadmill going nowhere. The way to get out of debt is by changing habits. Consumers need to commit to getting on a written game plan and sticking to it.
The top-three reasons given for rising debt according to American Demographics which tracks consumer trends are that :
1. People are living beyond their means (26 percent). 2. Credit cards are easily obtained (17 percent). 3. Incomes aren\'t keeping up with expenses (17 percent).
