    The guy says before he gave me all the stuff to take home and fill out and gave me some ideas...said I shoud even RE-RI my CREDIT CARD PORTFOLIO even if it is all 0.00%-5.99%...

    He said it will become TAX DEDUCTABLE and PAID OFF SOONER...

    I'M QUESTIONING THE LOGIC OF 0.00%...

    F.Y.I. 5.50% 15 years...(I hope it is lower tomorrow afternoon)

    Would they make us close any accounts??? BETTER NOT!!!

    Hi GEORGE

    I too would question the logic of saying you can save money by paying off a 0% int. CC with a 5.5% mortgage. Yes you can deduct up to the 1st $100,000 worth of mortgage on your taxes, but even then ???????? I would suggest that you get a second opinion from a tax advisor.

    Enjoy

    Uhhh, let's see...

    0% and unsecured
    5.5% and secured


    0% and unsecured
    5.5% and secured


    0%and unsecured
    5.5% and secured


    Seems like an easy choice to me, unless you can't afford to pay off the CC before it starts costing 10% or something.

    I have NEVER understood people willing to risk their home by converting paper debt to collateral backed gold.


    But hey, it's not like I'm a tax advisor, so I could be completely clueless...
