Re: Balance Transfer Questions

Hi OP

Congrats on reducing amounts being paid in interest. However, IMHO, my concern is are balances getting paid off or just being shuffled around.

Re: Balance Transfer Questions

Reducing monthly interest from almost $1,000 to around $200 has greatly increased my rate of paying down the total. I let the balances sit on high interest credit cards for years and made very little progress. I've reduced the total by around 15k over the last two years, and it would have been about 8k more if not for the new AC. I've got a paydown plan, if I can get through two years with no major unexpected expenses I should have the balances almost paid off.
