A new year means new goals. Often resolutions are made at the beginning of the year and aren’t always maintained till the end. But if your resolution–or goal—was something financial, you’d want to figure out methods to stay on top of it (check out this blog post for tips on maintaining your resolutions).
New year financial goals are common. In fact, 49% of Americans want to save more money in 2023. If that’s you, how do you make that happen? Budgeting may come to mind as the first step (which isn’t technically wrong), but that’s only one piece of the money-saving puzzle.
Debt Consolidation is one of the best ways to take control of your finances and save. Why?
- Combining debt into a single loan reduces the chance of accidentally missing a payment.
- Consolidating high-rate loans into one at a lower rate could save you money!
In the chart below, see how you could save over $3,500 in interest by consolidating three loans to our low-rate Signature Loan.
