Having debts is inevitable in our lives. We tend to have debts if we try to satisfy our needs and wants despite having scarce resources. For example, the use of credit cards plus the traditional borrowing of cash to your friend and relatives make you in debt to not only one source.

And when the time of paying back comes, you are confused on how and to whom you should pay first. Sounds a great problem right? But for every problem’ there is always a solution.
