Why should you consolidate your debt?
Consolidating debt has several advantages. First and foremost, if you can get a good interest rate on a debt consolidation loan, your overall interest will be lower, thus lowering the total amount of debt you have. In turn, you are paying out less each month. Plus, it is all compacted into one neat monthly payment, which is much less hassle than trying to remember when each different bill is due and pay them one by one.Another reason is that by paying off many of your debts, you could raise your credit score. While it is true that a debt consolidation loan requires a hard pull of your credit, which can temporarily lower your score, going from many debts to one debt will have a positive impact on your score in the long run. And a higher credit score will generally ensure you get lower interest rates on future loans, thereby saving you more money in the future.
Who should consolidate their debt?
Debt consolidation might not be the best move for everyone, but it is a great option for many people. If you have only 1 major debt, or if your debt(s) are low interest already, then it might not be worth it for you to seek a consolidation loan. If, however, you have several high interest loans (like a mortgage, car payment, credit card debt, etc) then it is wise move to get those paid off (thus stopping any interest from them) and start paying on the new (debt consolidation) loan with lower interest instead.Where do you start?
The first step is deciding that you want to take the step and commit to paying off your debts. While a debt consolidation loan might still save you money even if you are not completely diligent with the payments and such, it is not a magic cure. It will help you if you take it seriously and make it count. It's not just a "what the heck" kind of move. Consider it thoroughly.Once you decide it's the right move for you, decide which debts (all or only some) that you want to consolidate. Get an idea in your head of how much you can truly afford to borrow and then use that figure to decide which debts are the most pressing ones to get paid off right away. You should also research debt consolidation loans and interest rates. Try to find the lender that works best for your needs.
