Consolidating Debt and Reducing Stress

Car payment, Water bill, utility bill, health insurance premiums, cell phone bill, mortgage payment, cable bill, gas card payment, groceries, and then throw in a student loan payment or two, and you have lots to manage. Obviously, other smaller items have been left off of the list, but the point is that when there are so many due dates to juggle, it can be and hard to keep up and stay on time and see how much debt you really have. One way to recover from the debt blues is consolidating your debt. There are a few things you can do to consolidate your debts in a better way.

One way to consolidate is by using credit cards. The idea is to take all of the credit cards that you have, and find the lowest interest rate among all of them. After you find the lowest interest rate, then try to transfer all of your balances over to that credit card. You will hopefully end up with one large balance, instead of many smaller ones, and you will only have one payment a month to make. You could also apply for a different card with a lower rate and do the transfer so that you only have two cards and just two payments. However, be cautious when applying for new cards as too much credit can cause a lower rating on your credit score.
