RE: The Good and The Bad!

in #leofinance3 years ago

Good luck with you on accomplishing your goal! I know for us when my wife and I first got married one of the best things we did was to get a balance transfer loan. We were able to get a loan with a 4% interest rate. That loan was big enough to cover all of our other bad debt. That way instead of multiple payments to places with over 20% interest, we were able to pay much less to only one place. In fact, the rate on the loan was so low that we were able to pay more than the minimum payment and it was still less than our previous payments. It was five year loan and we had it paid off in 3. It was a great feeling.

Wow that's nice @bozz! That is actually a pretty good idea - thanks! So if I get of my track and miss out on some payments I can hopefully get a loan big enough to cover the rest of the bad dept! Nice man, think I will sleep better now hehe

Yeah, when we got married we had some combined credit card debt from about three or four cards that had interest rates over 20 percent. We paid off all of those with the balance transfer loan and then destroyed the cards. We left the accounts open so it wouldn't impact our credit, but with the cards gone we could no longer use them. Then the focus was solely on the Balance Transfer Loan. We got it through our credit union. Took care of $20k in combined debt like magic!
