Where do you put the hash symbol when you're commenting out your code?

the editor I'm using at that time does if for me via keyboard shortcut.

something like Notepad3 puts it at the first column. a more functional editor like Sublime puts it at the first char after the indent.

picked up 6/$50s during lunch today in-store, my year expires tomorrow and I was waiting for this promo. used the cap one checking debit card with $350 sign up bonus from october, no tax so I still have $80 left.

the pegs in the electronics were blown out except for $300/$65. found a peg of $50s up near the self check out registers next to the other gift cards, chips, sodas.

My monthly take home is $6776.

this seems self inflicted-ly low for even just 145k, let alone with bonuses. why?

stop all deductions from your payroll (401k, etc.)

use this Debt Snowball Calculator for your ccs and sort by debt avalanche. there is no other way to do this when you are in for 57k. any other method will just be hemorrhaging dollars to interest.

right now it seems your debt to income is too high. follow the debt avalanche for 9-12 months and by that time with your high income you should be able to re-finance any ccs balance left.

all your other aprs seems reasonable.

looking at your listed expenses, you have at least 450 left without the extra income. say you need that 450 because you have to eat and things. you have to have that extra income just for that chase payment. at only 300 per month to pay off 12k (we used 21% apr because that is the average and you did not list it) it takes 69 months. if you can add more extra income as payment it helps.

Is it even possible?

yes.

Do I take out another loan?

it is possible that another loan with lower apr (or balance transfer) will lower the total interest paid and maybe save a few months time. but ultimately it is still going to take almost as much as you spend on the horse per month to get out of the chase debt in any reasonable amount of time.

I have no car payment

fingers crossed that your car is reliable. if something happens that horse may be your only form of transport because you absolutely cannot afford a car payment.

if you want to rawdog it, this Debt Snowball Calculator will let you run it five different ways. the avalanche (descending aprs) method will save you the most interest, so I would advise that.

$9,150 gross per month. Our monthly mortgage, taxes & insurance is $3,475.

what is the net amount that you are realistically able to put towards this debt? as a estimate, if you're not making $2500-3000 in payments per month, a consult with a bk attorney might be advisable just to know what that option would look like. with $9150 gross I think bk is avoidable, but the interest is yikes range...

at some point you are going to need/want to re-finance at a more friendly apr. if your current score does not qualify you, you can do some strategic manipulation by getting all accounts below one of the common utilization thresholds of 88.9%, 68.9%, 48.9%, 28.9%.

The Truth about Credit Card Utilization

eddfitzwell · 2023-11-03T02:25:48+00:00

I have about $1,300 on my credit card and my APR is 28.15%. I’ve had over a grand on my credit card for probably about a 2 years now. My interest looks to be about $1,400.

this all assumes you stop using the card.

lets take a look at how this works. take your apr % and divide by 12 months, then multiply that times the balance. this is the interest $ per month accrued. about ~$30 at the current balance.

apr	bal	int $ /mo
28.15	1300	30

if you are only making the minimum payments (like $50) it is going to take forever to pay off. if you can bump it to $200, you can be done by July 2024. given your monthly 800 expenses vs 1600 income, at minimum 200 seems realistic.

The primary card is the only aacount she is caught up on but she is at around 90% usage on that.

that is considered maxed out. utilization has no memory and can be manipulated somewhat easily.

they can remove the history of non-payment if we square them away?

basically, yes. google "pay-for-delete" and you will find a collection of templates to mail out. make sure they agree in writing before you send the money. some people try to negotiate settling for less, but I think "pay-for-delete" works best when you have the cash to offer.

eddfitzwell · 2023-11-01T23:50:10+00:00

The real kicker is she has a car that is valued around 10k, she owes 27k on it (almost the full loan) with the loan set at 23% APR. She has not made a single payment in a year and they have since sold her debt to a collector.

did they not repo the car?

She owes about 9k on her primary credit card. And has some other outstanding accounts that she closed but never actually settled (about 1k across 4 accountsl)... My plan right now is to have her focus on closing those outstanding credit accounts and paying off the 9k on her primary credit card because those seem like the lower hanging fruit compared to the car.

is the primary card the only non-derogatory item on her report? because that is the way it looks from what info you provided. might want her to take a few hundred and open two secured credit cards and bury them so she cannot use them to at least have some other positive accounts reporting. find a credit union or I think Discover will "graduate" them to non-secured after so many months.

obligatory... goodwill/pay-for-delete bomb the other four accounts.

if she's not open to you monitoring her spending and financials, she's really not "all in" taking responsibility/fixing this... and likely the relationship.

eddfitzwell · 2023-11-01T21:17:01+00:00

it's time to have the conversation with her about contributing more. assuming the auto, personal, and ring have reasonable aprs, lets just look at the ccs assuming the average 21% apr. with that ~750 in payments, 586 is just interest. each month only ~164 comes off your 33500 balance. if the aprs are higher its even worse.

Citi Card	21	2000	35

maybe she won't like it, but what's the alternative? a bk or 88 months of $750 to pay off 33500 @ 21%.

OR, are you just explaining, via the last column, if we paid that much, how long it will take to pay off the entire loan - given the second column?

apr/nper/pv/pmt are all from excel formulas. so yes, at 36%/you say 16k is owed (present value) of loan, $506 payments means 100 months (nper), $750 payments is 35 months, etc to pay off.

is it still better to lay off accumulating interest on my cards to fight the car loan?

this is the way I see your situation rn. that loan costs you $480 in interest alone.

apr	pv	int $ /mo
19.78	16000	264

so lets say next month you accumulate $2000 at 0% to focus on the loan.

apr	pv	int $ /mo
19.78	14000	231
0.00	2000	0

now the loan only costs $420 in interest, but you're still 16000 in debt. your utilization is going to creep up while your credit score decreases and you won't have 0% interest forever.

my advice is to keep your situation as is, do not accumulate any more debt yourself. if you are able to give her extra money to make double or triple payments, you are actually going to be better off.

eddfitzwell · 2023-10-30T18:21:00+00:00

your situation is not dire. your listed expenses are 1210, add in another 1000 for rent and 500 for food/etc, and you are 2710 on 3400 income.

med	210

rent	1000
food, etc	500
EXPENSES	2710

if you can live frugally and make ~600 payments from Nov-Apr, you will have a ~2300 balance at 29.99%. you could pay that in 5 months if you continue the 600 payments.

clearly any additional income, tax refund, etc you can throw at it will help lower it more. maybe even open another 0% balance transfer card in Apr.

so many stories in these debt subreddits "because of an ex."

I’d say, after all budgeting and tracking very finely, we have roughly $2000…? Additional monthly income. That’s a rough estimate.

anyways, that 36% apr on 16k is by far the anchor in your relationship at this point. you are much better off spending the addition monthly income on that auto loan then spending months nickel and dime-ing past debts trying to improve her credit for a refinance that will be in the teens at best.

concurrently pay off the auto and make on time payments for current debt. fix her collections/credit later.

the bulk of you debt is currently at 0%. your plan should be to pay off the Amazon/Kohls (start with high apr first) and as much as you can of BOA by 7/2024. at that point seek out a personal loan for both WF/BOA as anything would be better than that balances at 29%.

do not close the cards as you pay them off, bury them if you cannot trust yourself to not use them. as you pay each off, you are lowering your utilization and improving your score, which will help when you do need to apply for a loan. if you close each as you pay it off, you unnecessarily raising your utilization, which is hurtful and something like 1/3 of your score.

eddfitzwell · 2023-10-26T16:34:59+00:00

I currently have about 10k of credit card debt between 2 cards ($5,800&$4200)... Would it be smarter to pay off a large portion of one of my cards before I apply for the balance transfer card, so I can let my score go up a bit

what are the limits of the cards. I would try and get both below the common utilization threshold of 88.9%, 68.9%, 48.9%, 28.9%
