I have about 10k cc debt has no interest until July 2024. I have an offer from another cc company for a balance transfer 0 interest for 18 months. Should I take advantage of this offer and transfer my 10K? I don’t think I’ll be able to pay off 10k by July.

How much are you paying per month? Even with 0 interest, there is typically a transfer fee.

I would pay off as much as you can btw now and June and then transfer- as long as that transfer fee is low.

I mean ya, 10k in a normal HYSA is $40/month right now so even if you could pay it I’d recommend using that

Per point above different case if there’s a fee involved

Yes do it as long as it’s below 4 percent transfer fee

Might as well I mean go ahead. All your doing is getting a higher credit limit and avoiding interest just use them responsibly from now on 🤷‍♂️

See if you can accept the offer later this year. Usually there's around a 5% transfer fee so paying off as much of the 10k debt you can before transferring will decrease the amount of the fee when you switch.

Home reno financing question. Have a big project coming up in the $120-150k range. Funding sources are:
- 90k from a heloc around prime
- 10k from a credit card that offers promo checks at 2-3% for 12-18 months
- 375k in a brokerage
- 5-6k per month cash that I can put towards the project, loans, or brokerage

I don't want to stop funding the brokerage because my FIRE plan is less numbers based than "hoard like dragon until it's enough" but maybe I should... How would you optimize?
