After I consolidate my credit card debt I’m never doing business with chase bank and capital one bank. I went from 18% apr to currently 30% Apr. I’ve been 100% on time with payments. They both refused to work with me to lower my apr. Discover and AMEX have been wonderful and have lowered my Apr to 9%. Both will definitely have my business once I clear this.

I called Capital one and PNC and they didn’t want to reduce my apr either. Once I pay those bills off. I’ll still keep them but be more mindful of what I’m buying. I won’t have to pay for my wedding again haha

Wow, I have about 22% apr with discover. Have paid everything on time.

It will hurt your credit if you close those accounts tho use them for a bill or 2 and pay them off each month

The rest are 10 or less year old.

Actually my thoughts on Business AMEX are completely the other way. During COVID they were THE only vendor or creditor that refused to reduce or suspend payments due for any period of time. Even when I was waiting on receipt of my approved Federal loans.

That’s weird I saw many people get that

Wow I’m sorry to hear that - that’s crazy! They should be ashamed but that’s how they make their money and it’s unfortunate because the people paying on time suffer and the companies continue to profit

How much is your balance?

What is a simple way to explain to my boyfriend that investing in equity with an expected return of 10% is better than paying off debt that is growing at a rate of 6%. He has student loans and is adamant that he wants to pay all of them off immediately before saving any retirement money. I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k

I’ve always been a big saver minimum 15% to maxing out my 401k since I graduated college. I’m married to someone who thinks 6% is enough and likes $$$ cars. Other than the cars, they dont really spend money. For the married 🐠, how do you have the conversation with them that what they are doing isn’t enough? I try to guide them and say you want the $$$ cars but the salary you have won’t get there and you’re going to have to find a job that gets them the salary…. Then the fight starts.

Not long ago I obtained bachelors and in the interim I have been working at Morgan Stanley.
