I now have no 401k, so I'll be retiring around....never. But at least I'm not paying 20+% in interest on that money anymore

Dont know anything about Simmons,never seen a post on here before about them. Sucks about the 401k but that had to really feel good paying off that much.
Smart thing to do IMO.

Make sure you report it cashed out or partial cashed out when you file taxes.. This is how I ended up getting um say a 10k audit from 5 years ago this year..  Took a bit of money out of an out 401k during move and didn't mention it on taxes oh they caught up to me and then some and tacked on all kinds of fees/fines/interest.

This cards APR is like 7.25%!  That's 1/3rd of my other lowest cards APR!  Granted, the credit limit is only about $3,000, so not great, compared to my two 10k Venture cards. But, 7.25% thats CRAZY!


Great approval. You have joined the ranks of the select few. Simmons is ever so picky! Grats ...
