Is Your Debt too Expensive?

Debt Settlement of Expensive Debts

Just how expensive — and costly — is your debt?

Here are things to consider when determining your “debt boundaries”.  In other words, what may be affordable and what may not, as well as analyzing “acceptable risk”.

  • Annual Percentage Rate (APR) no more than 36% is typically viewed at the high end of affordable. Compared to Payday and No-Credit Check loans, which can be around 400% APR.
  • An APR under 36% but still in double digits, which is subject to change and can’t be deducted (usually credit card debt), eats away your finances.
  • Loan length is so long that at the end your total payments exceed the item’s worth (e.g. used cars, rent-to-own furnishings).
  • Putting up collateral you can’t afford to lose, such as the title to a vehicle title with the accompanying repossession risk.
  • Nothing left for savings to cover emergencies or possibly necessities.

Therefore, when deciding which debt to get rid of first, choose the one which is most harmful to your financial situation.
