Transfer Credit Card Debt to Lower Interest Rate Creditcards

Remember our earlier interest cost thought?

With a credit card balance of $20,000 the difference you pay in interest is as follows:

18% over 360 payments will be a $301.42 per month payment
Your total interest costs will be $88,510

9% over 360 payments will be a $160.92 per month payment
Your total interest costs will be $37,932
That is a Financial savings of over $50,000!!!!

Now, what if you used the financial plan to switch to a 9% card and maintained your current payment of $301.42 per month.
Your total interest costs will be $7,759

That is a financial savings of over $80,000!!!! -and-
pay the creditcard off 22 YEARS FASTER!!!!
