Clearing my credit card debt now. I gotta card kicking my tail. Once I pay the ones I have off, I’ll wait to get another one.

Student loans are a mofo but they’re more flexible and longer out.

Everyone else want their money. I just got under $10k for my car loan. :stopitslime:

A $12k car costing me like $20k. :to:

Got it at an APR of 15+% but had it refinanced to 9 which is still bad but way better since I’m eating at the principal more.

cc debt. interest rates are higher and missing payments kills your credit score. ruining your chances to access things like mortgages, car loans and other borrowing at a decent rate.

student loans just have a higher amount but the interest rates are lower and repayment is more flexible. credit card debt should be avoided at all costs

If you make a payment it resets.

A payment of if you answer them. So for example you owe 10k to chase credit card. You never pay them and they sell that debt to a creditor. You hide from the creditor for 6 years and never return their calls. That creditor then sells that debt to another creditor who then calls you. You answer the phone stating that it is you who holds that debt.

So instead of the debt falling off on the 7th year. It now resets and will be on your credit for 7 more years.
