    Getting out of cc debt is similar to losing weight. You have to change your lifestyle. There’s no way around it. Otherwise, you will find yourself right back in debt. In my opinion, we have been spoon fed this bs lie that “stuff” is going to make us happy. It’s not. Choose freedom over enslavement.

      How right you are. Both things happened to me. I lost a lot of weight years ago following a very strict diet and exercise program. But it didn't last long, a couple of years only. I am back to my previous weight and then some. Same with credit card debt. I was debt free for decades. Now I'm buried in it. My only option is chapter 7 but I'm still trying to hold out and see if I can avoid it.

      They say you spend 8-10% more when you use credit cards. So, even if you are sticking to a budget, the psychological side of using a credit card prohibits you from realizing you can lower that budget. Use cash and you'll save 8%. That's a lot better than your 1-2% cash back

    • @JoseFlores-xh5cj
      @JoseFlores-xh5cj Год назад +6

      @nsant If you're like me you get 5% cashback on almost all categories. US Bank Cash+ for 5% utilities and groceries, which is about $1800 every month for my household of 4, that's $80 of cashback every month or $960 a year on just the necessities, which is used for 1-2 family yearly vacations. Again I personally agree that it's best for Americans to stick with cash/debit.

Food, gas etc. But when your in the mindset of paying it off. You don't buy the stuff you dont need. Zero credit card debt for years now. Pay it off every month and get 1-3% cash back rewards.

    The very fastest way to pay off a credit card debt is to never charge anyting on it. During my working life I was forced to get a credit card because of having to travel. Booking a hotel, car rental or airline ticket always required a credit card, but I always settled the bill with cash or a check until the debit card came out. I saved thousands on not pay interest. Built my own home paying cash as I built it, to the disapointment of my bank. Never bought a new car off the showroom floor but made some very good deals buying a demonstrator. Now retiered 10 years and living in Thailand on my savings and social security, money is the least of my worries. To beat the system, never play by its rules.

    3:50 example is not correct. You can transfer the visa to visa, just not the card issuing bank (capital one, discover, chase, etc...) It doesn't matter if it is visa, discover, amex, mastercard. This issuing bank won't allow to transfer their own balance from card you already have

    The options are as follows:

    2) Cash Out Retirement Accounts (401k loan/payback and interest goes to your retirement account)
    3) Debt Consolidation loans (goal to get lower interest rates)
    4) Home Equity Line Of Credit (Heloc/like a 2nd mortgage on your home, if you default you could lose your home/must have equity in your home)
    5) File for Bankruptcy (Ch 7 on credit report for up to 10 years. Or Ch 13 stays on your credit for a few years during payment plan)
    You’re all welcome! 😃

    One thing I would like to add is that company’s like Discover will give you a lower loan rate for debt consolidation vs just a personal loan for any random expense. Also, I did a balance transfer to Bank of America and I had a bit of credit card debt on that card as well. It was supposed to be an interest and payment free for 12 months balance transfer. I was also charged about 3/4 percent for the balance transfer. But when I have tried to pay off my balance on my card thinking it would go to the interest accruing portion of my balance, part of my payments have gone to my balance transfer instead and I keep paying interest on the purchases I made on my card. Not an ideal scenario as I was trying to lower the interest i paid overall.

Took me a year of dedicated payments after drowning in minimum payment purgatory. Thankfully have a good job that allowed me to knock it out quickly, and never missed a payment so credit score is 800 now.. Word to wise never get in the position I was in. Wasted thousands of dollars in interest in addition to the gains I missed from not investing that money.
    Luckily still have a nice retirement amount setup with my wife but promised her I would pay this off on my own.

You can set a budget on your own or use an app and the apps really do help you see where your money is going. And do not take your money out of your retirement!!!! Do not do that because you will pay a higher fee as it will increase your income for the year!!!, if it’s that bad stop putting your money through the retirement and set that money for your debt.

    I quit drinking 2 years ago. At that time I was over $53,000 in debt, and $25,000 of that was just high interest credit cards from years of being a bar regular. I had to let three go into charge off and settle, was only able to pay two in full. Now I'm out of debt, thankfully. Never again!

    One final solution is to close your credit card account
    Yes your credit will have a masisve impact but you can negotiate the payments you can affford to make and first year is less than 3-5 % Interest unlike 20-30%
    Its better than paying the minimum then realize you paying anything was you get charged interest fees

    Treat credit card as cash. Don't spend the money you don't have. It's always important to have money saved up for emergency to use instead of credit card.

    Hi nice video. Can you do some one on different pay off strategies esp. When you have multiple credit cards. Also can you do a video on velocity banking? Should you close a credit card after you pay it off? What about those companies that help consolidate debt?

    35k in Credit card debt. I’m enrolled in a debt program called ACCC. Didn’t have to default to negotiate. They dropped my rates down to 2%-7% dropped my payments by a tiny bit. I do get charged a $28 monthly fee but I’ll be debt free in less then 4 years. Anyone really struggling should check out this program capital one referred me to them. It was a lengthy process but 100% worth it.

      Hi! With this option with ACCC, did they freeze your credit cards while you are enrolled in the debt program? I'm interested. Thank you!

      Did you try velocity banking first? I think you would have done better and paid it off sooner with it. Anyway, good for you.

    i had credit card debt for about 8 years due to poor decisions from my late teenage-early 20s. being debt-free is one of the best feelings ever! now that im a proud car owner, that's my only debt but my dividends are paying that off. [important note] -> gotta use assets to pay for your liabilities! 😅

    Brian you are way smarter than me. But explain to me which credit card company will offer you even half of the total amount of maxed out credit card. Most if not all credit card companies will see people like that as risky Burrower’s.
    The only way to get out of credit card debt is work extra like a slave , cut down expenses and live like a college student.
    Extra money to pay credit cards.

    I'm surprised you didn't mention either the Avalanche or Snowball methods. Some people don't have the credit score to justify debt consolidation or refinancing. Using your retirement fund and a HELOC should be discouraged since people in cc debt are not responsible enough for these types of loans.

    yea but as for the bankrupies they do not have to stay on your report for 7 and 10 years, a matter of fact when you study consumer law, it states that and you can get it wiped off your report

    Ninety percent of people who abuse their credit cards cannot afford to pay them back... There are no tricks or gimmicks you can use to fix that problem... Other than getting a better paying job and pay them off...
