With the ease of getting credit like the pre-approved cards nowadays, it is not surprise to learn that the average American family in credit card debt carries a balance of $4000 on several credit cards from month to month.
While $4000 is not a big sum, that figure accounts for the national average and many families in reality own more than that. If your family is in credit card debt, you might need to consolidate your credit card debts before your credit card companies suck you dry of your money by charging you high interest and late fees penalty.
One of the best methods to consolidate your credit card debt is to apply for a home equity loan provided you own a home. Using your home as mortgage, youll be able to get a lower interest rate loan than that of credit cards companies.
With the loan, you can repay your credit card debts (which are of higher interest) and pay off just your home loan that is of lower interest. By doing this, you will pay lesser money in the long run because of the savings on the interest and the late fees penalty charge by your credit card companies.
You will also get to enjoy longer repayment period, and enable you to get back to your normal lifestyle again.
While you can make use of your equity to clear your debts, remember to learn the lesson of not to overspend. Because if you run into financial trouble again and fail to pay your home loan, you take the risk of losing your home altogether.
Home equity loan is only a tool to help you get back to debt-free life. You still got to put in effort, be discipline and keep to your financial plan and budget such that you can clear your home loan and live a debt-free life again.

LinkedIn Recommendation:
Demetrius Reardon - Search Engine Optimization Manager at Blue Galaxy Marketing - I just attended Teo's LinkedIn workshop and am getting more information on how to use it. Great stuff. He told us everything there was to know about LinkedIn in one sentence. Then went into details, then added some optional ways to use it, just so much information so quickly... I had a little trouble keeping up, but he kept coming back to that one sentence to show how it all fits. It really is easy! Love Teo's style! He's got a lot of energy and would love to meet him in person someday! - March 17, 2012, Demetrius was Teo's client |
