Taylor:我和丈夫有10.5万美元的债务,包括信用卡债务、车贷和学生贷款。丈夫月收入8400美元,我们的收入勉强够支付房租和其他账单。我做美发工作已经三年了,但收入微薄,几乎没有利润。我考虑换一份全职工作来增加收入,以便更快地还清债务,但我又不想放弃自己所学专业。 Ken Coleman:你不必放弃你的美发事业,可以先找一份全职工作增加收入,偿还债务。等还清债务后,再考虑是否全职做美发。设定一个具体的每月收入目标,例如2200到2500美元,然后制定计划来实现它。你可以考虑兼职工作,例如在沃尔玛工作,或者寻找其他高时薪的工作。 Jade Warshaw:分析你美发事业中存在的问题,例如工作室租金过高、客户不足或收费过低。如果你的车辆价值高于贷款余额,可以考虑出售车辆来偿还债务并减少月供。偿还债务应该是一个优先事项,在还清债务后,再考虑发展你的美发事业。夫妻共同努力偿还债务可以增强彼此的关系。
