Why Smart with Debt?

Use Debt, Don’t Let Debt Use You
Cash-Out Refinance vs. Home Equity Loan
Sometimes, you need extra money for big expenses or investments. Two common ways to get this money are:
- Cash-Out Refinance: This replaces your current mortgage with a new, larger one. You get the difference in cash.
- Home Equity Loan: This is a second loan against your home’s value.
However, a typical cash-out refinance could cost someone a quarter of a million dollars over the life of the loan.Therefore, you need to always compare the options first.
Getting 0% Credit Cards
0% credit cards can also be a great way to manage debt. These cards offer a period where you pay no interest. Here’s how to use them smartly:
- Transfer Balances: Move high-interest debt to a 0% card.
- Pay It Off: Aim to pay off the balance before the 0% period ends.
- Avoid New Debt: Don’t add new charges while paying off the balance.
Protect Your Future
Choosing the right debt can not only save you money, but it can also protect your future. Here are some tips:
- Research: Always compare different loan options.
- Plan: Have a clear plan to pay off your debt.
- Ask Questions: Don’t be afraid to seek advice.
Our goal is to get you on the right path but not do the loans for you. It can muddy the water when giving advice and trying to get you a loan also.
