What is debt consolidation?

Managing Debt

Does this sound like you?

"Okay so I paid that bill, this one has an interest rate of how much? Oh and that bill was due… 3 days ago?! How am I supposed to keep track of all of this?"

Let’s talk about debt consolidation! If you have multiple debts and you’re struggling to manage them, debt consolidation could be an option for you. Basically it’s combining multiple debts under one loan, with one payment, one due date and hopefully a lower interest rate.

Debt consolidation could be an option for you if you’re struggling with these two things:

One. You’re overwhelmed with multiple payments. If you can’t keep track of what payment is due when, you could benefit from simplifying everything with one monthly payment.

Two. You’re dealing with high interest rates. This can be especially difficult if you have multiple credit cards - those rates are crazy high.

Consolidating your debts can often give you a lower interest rate, so you can put more towards actually paying off the principal and not just the interest.
