  • Deciding between a balance transfer credit card and a debt consolidation loan depends on the terms you get, the repayment plan, and your comfort with risk. A balance transfer credit card is a great option if you can get a 0% introductory APR, AND you can pay off the balance before the period expires. A debt consolidation loan might be better if you need a more extended period to pay off the debt.
    So, when thinking about debt consolidation, you need to think about these things:
    1. Are you just kicking debt down the road? Meaning ae you paying off debt by taking out more debt? You have to lower your spending and be committed to not accruing more debt as you work on paying off
    your debt.
    2. If you have a low credit score, you probably won't be able to get a lower interest rate on the balance transfer or debt consolidation loan. So, first focus on making on-time payments, paying off debt, and increasing your credit score.
    3. make sure you have a budget and have found a way for that budget to work successfully in your life.
    Now, of course, I always recommend paying off your debt by buckling down, controlling your spending, and learning about why you are debt in the first place. Addressing and understanding why you go into
    debt is critical if you want to make changes to stay out of debt in the future.
    That said, when you are facing financial hardship, sometimes debt consolidation can help when you have high-interest debt that is not manageable.

    Since finding you on Pinterest in 2016 so much has changed in our lives. We are down by 77.78% of our highest debt balance. It's a great feeling to know that we've come so far, but I have to remind myself not to become complacent because we're living comfortably! Thanks for this video! It's full of great reminders! 💙💜💙

    I’m just now getting prepared to use your budget by paycheck kit, I’m excited and nervous. My income is tight and I have one collection debt for 2.5K and how do I go about paying it and how?! I have to get my identity straightened out with the credit bureaus, what would you suggest I pay ($500?) because I want my credit score to go up and it was from when I was married to my ex husband left me with a massive amount of debt.

    I consolidated 27k of high interest credit card debt (19.99% - 29.99%) into a personal loan at 7%. One thing to note is that if you don't own your house it is HHAARRDD to get3 approved. I had to work with my bank for 2 months before they finally approved me because I have no equity

    • @IIIGoddessIII
      @IIIGoddessIII 3 года назад +1

      Are you referring to home equity loan? Personal loan is an unsecured loan that has nothing to do with the equity in a house. It is never advisable to pay off credit card debt (unsecured debt) with a home equity line of credit (secured debt). You would be moving unsecured debt to a secured debt and risking loosing your house. Hope that clarifies that.

    I have only seen this in department stores cards

    Budgetmom, i would have included the positive psychological effect of when one card gets paid off by your own means rather than having the debt being one huge debt that feels like it takes longer to pay off

    I have a serious issue with money management and compulsive spending. In the last 4 years I have done 3 personal loans to consolidate my debt & then charged up two credit cards after. So I have accumulated so much more debt. I keep kicking my debt down the road... I cannot seem to get it under control & I hate myself for it 🤷‍♀️
