Understanding Debt Consolidation

What is Debt Consolidation?

Debt consolidation combines multiple debts into a single loan, potentially offering lower interest rates, simplified payments, and faster debt elimination.

Benefits of Consolidation

  • Lower monthly payments with better interest rates
  • Simplified debt management with one payment
  • Potential to save thousands in interest
  • Fixed payment schedule and payoff date

When to Consider Consolidation

  • You have multiple high-interest debts
  • You qualify for a lower interest rate
  • You want to simplify your finances
  • You have steady income to make payments

Consolidation Options

Personal Loan

Fixed rate, fixed term, predictable payments

Balance Transfer Card

0% intro APR, but variable rate later

Home Equity Loan

Lower rates, but home is collateral

Important Considerations

  • Don't accumulate new debt after consolidating
  • Factor in origination fees and closing costs
  • Ensure you qualify for better terms
  • Create a budget to avoid future debt
