Credit card debt

We want to consolidate the credit cards but want to avoid refinancing again. What is our best option?

Q.

We have a mortgage of $189k on a property valued at $380k. We have credit card debt of $25k and annual income is about $75k, and we have three dependents. We would love to consolidate the credit cards but want to avoid refinancing again. What is our best option?



A.

Another option may be to focus your energies on attacking the smallest credit card debt. Once that is paid off use thep payments no longer needed for it to speed up repayments on the next smallest debt. If you keep doing this you will be amazed how quickly you will get back on your feet.
