Debt consolidation can reduce your interest costs - if used wisely!

Cut up your credit cards and consolidate your debt

Financially astute achievers recognize that if you don't pay your monthly credit balance in full each month, you are making the WORST FINANCIAL DECISION possible with your disposable income.

If you are stuck carrying a large balance on your credit card each month you should heed this as a major warning sign that you are in significant financial trouble, or are making very poor choices with your available cash flow.

The Average American household has over $10,000 in credit card debt

What's even more scary is the fact that many of these households are only paying their minimum monthly balances.  If you have a $10,000 balance at the average credit card rate of 18%, it will take you 32 YEARS to pay off your balance. 

Debt consolidation works - but only if you eliminate credit card use

By consolidating different types of high interest loans and debt into one manageable payment you will often qualify for lower rates of interest.  Lower payments do not mean you are saving money - it usually means exactly the opposite, that you are paying much more interest over the long run.  Resist the urge to stretch your payments, and do not undertake a consolidation if you plan to reload your credit card balances - you will simply compound the original problem!

Debt consolidation is an easily learned process (which means YOU can learn it)

There are many resources, tutorials and online calculators that can help you explore debt consolidation tips and strategies that will work best for your specific financial situation.
