[–] No1@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) If anyone's situation improves, look into converting credit card debt into a personal loan. The interest in some cases can be a lot less. Usual disclaimers. Everyone's circumstances are different, and not financial advice. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] janus2@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago I just keep balance transferring it to new cards with promo 0% APR for some months the balance transfer fees are significantly lower than card interest for sure (not sure about personal loan interest, I'll have to check my bank) every time I do this I hope that this time around is the time I finally pay it all off before a new crisis arises that I have to pay for. sigh permalink fedilink source parent
