Here’s a common scenario today- You have been living in your dream home for several years now, but because the economy has gone sideways and inflation is skyrocketing, making your monthly mortgage payment has become increasingly difficult. Every credit card is maxed out and you have started wondering whether or not you should consider selling your home. Selling a home to pay off debt is a common solution that many homeowners have pursued.
Determine the Reasons for Your Debt Situation
Over 1,000 individuals Google search this very topic each month throughout the year. Just keep in mind that listing your home on the market is not the same as impulse buying a new pair of shoes. Be careful before sticking that “For Sale” sign in your front yard and determine why you are in debt before doing anything else. According to the “Visual Capitalist” (May of 2022), US consumer debt was approaching the $16 trillion mark, indicating that people are struggling everywhere. Here are 3 possible reasons:

- You purchased a more expensive home than what you can actually afford – when you purchased your current home you were approved for a more expensive home than what you could afford. So you bought that bigger home anyway and now you are suffering financially.
- Managing finances is difficult – if you see something you want, you may buy it without giving a thought to your finances. Saving may be difficult for your. Seeing the financial big picture, is not your strong suit.
