O' highly esteemed and knowledgeable Bitches, I first off wanted to say that I am one payment away from fully paying off my beater of a car and the thought of having that extra money to throw at other bills is exhilarating! Secondly, because of this extra money I am looking into possibly consolidating my other bills. Interest rates on credits cards are too fucking high and it's seemingly impossible to make a dent in paying anything off. A friend has told me to look into Credit Karma to search around for loan providers before committing to a bank, but I'm not sure how comfortable I feel with sites like that. Is Credit Karma and other sites like it trustworthy enough or should I stick to my guns and go with my bank for loan?

First off kiddo, we are SO DAMN PROUD OF YOU. You're doing SO well and we are weeping with joy over here.

Credit Karma is considered very safe and legitimate. We endorse it, and after looking at its security measures, I can confidently say I'd use it myself if the need ever came up.

We also advise shopping around for loans, rather than just going with your personal bank for convenience's sake. You can get much better terms if you hunt around, and Credit Karma can probably help with that. We explain a bit more about shopping around for loans here:

Refinancing vs. Staying Put: What's Best for NZ Homeowners?

For New Zealand homeowners, deciding whether to refinance or stick with their current mortgage depends on several factors. Refinancing Mortgages can offer benefits such as lower interest rates, reduced monthly payments, or access to home equity for renovations. With fluctuating interest rates, 2024 may present opportunities for homeowners to lock in better deals, especially if current rates have decreased since their initial loan.

However, staying put can also be advantageous, particularly if breaking the existing loan incurs high penalties. Some homeowners may value stability over potential savings, especially if they have a fixed-rate mortgage and are close to the end of their term.

Ultimately, the choice comes down to personal financial goals. Refinancing may be a smart move if the long-term savings outweigh the costs, but for others, maintaining their current mortgage could provide peace of mind. Consulting a mortgage advisor can help weigh the options effectively.

love being manipulated by my mom when i've done literally everything for her 🙃

i hate when old people see the price of rent for any apartment and they say “that’s more than my mortgage!” as if that’s not how mortgages work and mortgages are USUALLY cheaper than rent…… unless you buy right now, because then rent is cheaper than a mortgage 😔

The weather turned frightful for large loans that missed the extended window of 3 - 4.6%. Although it’s always best to see the lowest possible interest when borrowing, sometimes time is the boss. It isn’t always prudent to refinance early - especially if you’re holding a loan with a prepay penalty. Making the best of a rate challenge involves looking at the long-range forecast and planning the types of deductions that create the most growth over the course of the length of your loan. Whether you’re getting a new loan or you're refinancing an existing loan, avoiding a prepay penalty may be your best move.

Hey bitches!! Thoughts on when to or not to get a balance transfer card? I’ve got 3 cards in total; two with interest but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to pay them off before the intro period on the new card, or how that even works? I’m worried about having too many cards at only 22; idk if my credit limits also matter; I have one at $300, 5k, and 7k

in case we're not believing how bad the housing/inflation/general economic crisis is here in the united states, a story: i bought my house in the spring of 2016 for an affordable price on me and my now-husband's joined income and the fact that it was a first house for us so we didn't have to put more than 3% down. if we wanted to buy this SAME HOUSE (one that we've lived in for 7 years and did no updates on to justify a price increase) we wouldn't be able to. we're priced out of our own home. let that sink in :)

Great survey by US News reveals interesting percentages in the last year's homebuyers behavior and thoughts.

On the back of the Buy Now, Refi Later slogan, many buyers decided to pull the trigger creating various scenarios right after and going into 2024 and beyond, as the financing world has not seen interest rates improve. They are actually projected to go up and that comes as a surprise by many.

Let's see how that happened and what situations recent homebuyers find themselves into here:
