DEVELOPING A STREAM OF REPEAT INCOME IS ONE WAY TO PULL YOURSELF OUT OF DEBT—FAST! Are you one of the millions of Americans using your credit card as a life raft during this moment of historically high inflation? Whether it’s to maintain the lifestyle they’ve enjoyed over the last few years or simply to afford everyday expenses like gas and groceries, Americans are running up the charges. And even if inflation eventually recedes to pre-COVID levels, a flood of credit card debt will be left in its wake. Worse, today’s higher interest rates make this new debt even harder to zero out. It’s times like these when developing a stream of repeat income can pay off—literally! Here’s the what, how, and why of finding additional financial avenues to help offset the high cost of carrying personal debt. *
