Debt Management and Relief Strategies encompass a range of techniques and plans designed to help individuals effectively handle and reduce their debt.
Key aspects of debt management include creating a budget to track and control spending, prioritizing debts (often paying off high-interest debts first), and negotiating with creditors for lower interest rates or modified payment plans. Debt consolidation, where multiple debts are combined into a single payment with a lower interest rate, is a common relief strategy.
