Debt Consolidation: Money Saving Strategies
With the average interest rate on credit cards at 16.5%, it’s easy to understand why so many Canadians have turned to debt consolidation as a way of decreasing their interest payments.
With the equity in your home you can pay off your high interest credit cards and lines of credit to save money. And with interest rates as low as 5.2% (Prime -.80), there has never been a better time to consolidate, whether you’re in a larger center such as Calgary or Edmonton, or a smaller Alberta center.
Consolidating your debt reduces your monthly debt payments to a manageable level, allowing you to take control of your financial future by putting your money back where it belongs…in your pockets.
The following example is an actual case from one of our clients, and clearly shows how debt consolidation can save you money.
