It’s February, cold and dark, and here you are, faced with a pile of debts and credit card bills that reflect your over-spending on holiday celebrations! You’ve received one or more bills? Can you pay them all off? If this is the case, congratulations! If not, take a few minutes to do the following exercise. List all your debts and their respective interest rates (car, house, cottage, line of credit, credit cards, RRSP).

Did you know that a $20,000 credit card debt at 18% interest will cost you a $1,000 a month if you want to pay it off in two years? Worst is if you make only the minimum payment (around $300), it will take you 30 years to pay it off completely.

The purpose of this exercise is to enable you to find out which debts are the most costly and how you can finance them at a lower cost. One available solution is to refinance your property with a mortgage with a current interest rate between 1.30% and 3.19%*.

The second exercise is to contact us so we can take a look, free of charge, to see if this solution is a realistic option in your situation.
