#248: Debt Consolidation: What You Need To Know
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you’re paying on your debt every month but still not seeing progress, this episode breaks down why. I explain exactly how debt consolidation works, the two most common ways people do it, and what to watch out for before deciding if it’s right for you.
We talk through debt consolidation loans and balance transfer credit cards, including the benefits, risks, and common mistakes that can leave people worse off. Debt consolidation isn’t a magic fix, but when used intentionally, it can be a helpful tool as part of a bigger plan.
