    Thanks for increasing my knowledge in personal finance and investment, I recently subscribed to your channel. I want to give a big shout-out to all those working tirelessly to earn a living and build wealth during this recession. My husband and I are both retired and debt-free, and we're living smart and frugal with our money. Despite the recession, we're still earning passive income thanks to our savings and investments in the financial market. Investing lifestyle has enabled us to earn a steady monthly income through passive means, and we're grateful for it:

      Working with a skilled financial planner can be compared to having a mentor in the field of finance. I used to struggle to invest on my own and ended up losing money, but things changed once I started working with Claire Martha Magalhaes. She played a pivotal role in helping me improve my financial situation. Previously, I relied solely on my job and salary for income, but now I have found ways to generate additional income with ease, which has allowed me to leave traditional employment. Nowadays, I believe that investing is not a choice, but a necessity for anyone who desires financial independence and a good quality of life.

    2) the avalanche method may save you money but it requires extreme level of financial discipline. For the everyday person do the snowball. It is so encouraging to see accomplishments that’s push forward into bigger and better things. Like when you wake up and make your bed boom beds made so you’re not going back to bed maybe you want some coffee but your mug is dirty wash the dishes might as well wipe down the counters well now you have all the dirt on the floor so let’s sweep you just swept so now you’re mopping and Holly shit you cleaned the kitchen 👏 👏 👏.

      If your interest rate is high, look into Debt Consolidation (lending club, your bank, etc). For lending, you can even check your rates without a hard credit check. If the rates that they offer is better than your CC rate (keep in mind the initiation fee. That is where they will get you), then get loan and pay off your CC and throw your card away (not literally but use it only once a month to buy coffee/pay subscription for a streaming platform and pay off that balance right after). Also, make sure you aren't penalized for paying off the debt early. And here's a tip, if you can afford to pay more than the minimum, attack the principal payment with the extra amount so that in the long run you won't pay as much on interest. The main thing to do is to never use your CC ever again except for that one payment a month.

    The debt avalanche is just mathematically faster than the debt snowball. Dave Ramsey is always saying you "dont get a pass on math" and "children do what feels good. Adults devise a plan and follow it." Then he says the opposite with the debt snowball.

      @@williamjoyner3768 Not necessarily because you already have a account with a credit card company so you don’t have to apply for another one. Most people that are in credit card debt have multiple cards. So if you have multiple credit cards you can just move the balance to the other card and take advantage of the lower interest rate. Not all cards allow a balance transfer or give a promotional zero percent interest rate so wont work for everyone.

      @pqtaxmom Рік тому +6

      Well, you can, but there’re a few things to keep in mind. 1. Even if you get a 0% introductory interest rate, there will be a transfer fee, which is 1-4% of the transferred amount. 2. The most important thing is the habit. And you should pay off the balance by the end of the introductory period, or you risk ending up with a higher interest rate than your previous card. With that being said, if a person doesn’t build up the good habit, ultimately he or she will be back to debt and in a worse place than before.
