    Bola, I thank God for you and the creation of Clever Girl Finance. This program is a movement for women. I recommend it to everyone, but you have to be ready. I am crushing my debt thanks to the realm you have created for women coming together on this journey.

    This video is like confirmation for me! I wrote down all my debts at the beginning of this year smallest to largest with interest rate beside each. Whew that was ugly! I made it through though. I am using the snowball method. I’m gonna pay off my first small debt this Friday and I CANNOT WAIT. Love this video Bola! Thank you.

    What is the best option to pay credit cards? 1- the one with the highest amount, 2- the one with the highest interest, 3- the one with the lowest amount, 4- the one with higest porcentage ration in relation to the credit limit.

    @ 27:00 I will say, that if you have a vehicle that is costing you more in repairs then the value of the vehicle, meaning not just oil changes and tires, but major things, ie motor mounts, transmission issues, etc, then it would be worth it to look into a vehicle with as low a payment as possible and as low an interest rate as possible where you're not paying for the repairs but just regular maintenance and a payment, it will be less than if you were paying for a payment and for a repair and for maintenance combined.
    My case was that I had a car that had not been maintained throughout the marriage. So when I left, I had a $250 car payment, which was manageable, but I was paying $300 a month in repairs, and that wasn't even maintenance. I'm talking major repairs. So what I did was I looked around and did my research on good long-running reliable cars that had a great reputation and low maintenance and that could handle my children and all the things I was now responsible for solely. I ended up with a 2-year-old Toyota hatchback, that was still under warranty, that was only $100 more than the previous car, but did not give me any major maintenance issues for the next 10 years. That car wound up going to my youngest child until she went on to college.
    I was able to take that $300 extra repair cost and throw it at debt that I was able to pay off and also save up for a down payment on our home and move us out of our rental. I was able to do this within a 2-year time period on less than 32000 a year as the sole income. I did not include the child support in my income for the house because I knew that it would not last. And I opted not to accept spousal support for personal reasons.

    Veteran women and men can be real estate tax free. Must fill out the proper paperwork or computer work and receive the tax exempt paperwork. It is a God send when it comes to purchasing a home or business. It saves tons of money when you don't have to pay real estate taxes.

    You make a very good point about debt consolidation. A friend of mine had two student loans - one at 29% and the other at 27%. He then consolidated both into one at 47% because the interest rate percentage was ‘overall lower’. As he explained this to us, his friends, after the fact, we asked if he did the math because that’s not how interest and compounding works. Additionally, there were transfer fees. Now, half of his salary goes towards debt repayment. He literally has $5.00 left when he pays his monthly costs and buys food.

    • @kp-ye8go

    • @Camille-st6mz

      47?!?! Hes lying

    • @youcanknowanything8489
      @youcanknowanything8489 4 года назад +2

      47% is not in any way a reasonable interest rate. It sounds like your friend was scammed into a payday loan type of arrangement because he is not self aware of financial matters.

    • @toni-anndoyley7123
      @toni-anndoyley7123 4 года назад

      Carla I think you might be right. What I think that they did was put the balance on a credit card whose interest was 47%, and that’s the account that he pays into. Sometimes we should have someone that we can run these things by to see how sound the idea sounds. And he was really a novice about finance, and not keen to learn. I am grateful for channels like hers, which breakdown things simply. I should probably send him this link.

    I have 1 credit card at a $1K balance but I want to save up $1K in an emergency fund first. I have heard that its better to save the 1K because if an emergency comes and I am not prepared I will more than likely end up in debt again without the cash on hand. I have been making the min payment but when i get my taxes i will pay it off.

    • @MsBernie4U
      @MsBernie4U 6 лет назад +3

      I would suggest you pay off the credit card balance and then save for your emergency, if an emergency arises you will have the credit card to cover those costs. Remember credit cards are charging anywhere from 6%-24% in interest compared to the less than 1% the banks are giving for savings accounts. If you hold off paying off the credit card you will be essentially paying more for that $1K. Just my opinion and hope this helps. Good luck.

    • @SxyGrl44
      @SxyGrl44 6 лет назад +4

      You’re right. Save the $1,000.00 for emergency first and then pay off the credit card. Still make the minimum payment while saving for your emergency Fund. You don’t want to use your credit card and create more debt while trying to get out of debt.

    • @MsSassyMT

    • @tazgurl120
      @tazgurl120 6 лет назад +13

      j duplessy you should always continue to at least pay the min payment to all your debts. If you have extra cash to contribute to debt ( in the snow ball) put all into the smallest balance in order to try to pay it off quicker until paid off. Then once smallest debt is paid off, add all extra cash payment to next smallest debt. You do this while making all min payment to all your debts first. I hope this help. Good luck!
