Is there such thing as good debt? And how could something good cause so many issues? On top of this is there anyway that we could just run an economy without debt and would we be better off for doing so. Well it turns out we probably can, and in fact there are many economies around the world today that are developing rapidly while going without this system that we just assume is a given.

If we can critically explore these questions it will offer insight into how our modern financial system works, and why it means that despite our best efforts we are almost destined to go into a recession once every 10 years or so.

Now in this video im going to break down all the pros and cons and especially answer these questions that I know you’re having. Are debt Consolidation a good thing, or are they a bad thing.

Questions I’m going to answer
– Low Monthly Payment
– Low apr
– I only owe one person

Well I’ve gotten letters for Student loan refinancing, credit cards and even Auto loans ( I don’t even own a car)
However:
– I owe 12-13k in credit card debt and pay no interest, and I pay no interest
– I get offers every week to refinance and pay a low minimum payment, lower apr, and one person.
– Oh, don’t forget about the low rates offered of 4-12%, which sounds a lot better than 25-35 with a credit card.

Do Debt Consolidation Loan actually work | Pay Off Debt

Pros: according to the Companies ( Do Math) and Compared to a Credit Card
Low Monthly Payment
Story: Instead of paying only the minimum on credit cards and finishing in 5-13 years
– You refinance your loan and be done between 12-60 months ( which sounds a lot better than 13 years)
– You can also prepay the debt and be down sooner
Lower Apr
One Bill
Story: Stuck paying 6 credit cards and the balance seems like it doesn’t go down

Cons
Low Monthly Payments: Its longer and usually they’ll win more
Lower Apr: It’s lower, but it’s on a higher balance
One Bill: they make the profits and cut out the credit cards and hope you do it all over again
