what will pay off a credit card faster? $50 a month on 9% or $100 a month on 23%?
i have just successfully paid off a credit card! (yay for me!) but i have more to go all ranging in interest from 1.9% to 24% the one i just paid off was 24% with a small balance. now here's my question. i paid $50 a month on that card like clockwork every month even though my payment was only supposed to be $15. i'm now used to spening $50 a month on this bill. i have another card offer for a fixed rate of 8.99 %. should i get this card and transfer a small amount from one of my high interest cards (like $300 at a time) and pay $50 a month on that to pay off each transfer in about 6-7 months and keep repeating it till done with my goal(i won't use this card for anything else). or should i just take that $50 and add it to another existing card to make that payment $50 higher? i would still continue to pay all my other cards on schedule (and i always pay a little extra on each one as best as i can) i have approx $22K in credit debt on various cards thanks to my ex-hubby. i make 30K/yr!
