As a mum, balancing the demands of your family and finances can feel like an endless challenge, especially when it comes to managing debt. But setting realistic goals can help you stay focused and motivated. Here’s how to get started: 

Assess Your Finances: Start by reviewing all your debts and interest rates. This clarity will help you prioritize which debts to tackle first.

Set Clear, Manageable Goals: Instead of aiming to pay off everything at once, focus on smaller, achievable targets—like paying off one debt or reducing your overall balance by a certain amount. 

Adjust Your Budget: Look for areas in your spending where you can cut back. Even small savings, like reducing subscriptions or meal prepping, can free up more money for debt repayment. 

Track Progress: Use a debt tracker app or spreadsheet to visualize your progress. Seeing your efforts pay off can keep you motivated. 

Be Flexible: Life as a mum can be unpredictable, so be kind to yourself if things don’t go as planned. Adjust your goals when necessary without guilt. 

With these tips, you’ll be on your way to setting and achieving debt goals that fit your life and help bring you peace of mind in 2025.
