[22:34] IsambardPrince If she wasn't so stupid she'd drain the bitcoin wallet and pay her credit cards. [22:35] admfubar https://prospect.org/power/2024-08-02-wall-street-hits-the-locker-room/ [22:35] TR Bot Wall Street Hits the Locker Room - The American Prospect [22:35] IsambardPrince Because unless the $40-50k she claims she has in a bitcoin wallet starts growing by 30% a year, she's not going to beat what those cards are doing to her. [22:36] IsambardPrince I'd take her more seriously if she had bitcoin investments and the only thing she was in debt for was an old mortgage at 3-4%. [22:36] IsambardPrince But that's not the case. [22:37] IsambardPrince Most mortgages precompute the interest so there's no point trying to pay them off faster because they'll get their interest anyway. [22:38] IsambardPrince When you take out a mortgage for 30 years and pay it in 15 the only thing you did was make 15 more years of interest payments than you would have, at half a percent higher interest. [22:38] IsambardPrince The only mortgage I would even look at right now if I was interested and could afford one was a 20 year fixed. [22:38] IsambardPrince For some reason those are running 2/10th of a percentage point below the 15. [22:39] IsambardPrince And it gives you a lower monthly payment so you have more wiggle room if unexpected things start happening to your budget. [22:40] ciphrCat well, if youre on the ball you move your credit card debt around in a way that exploits promo rates. [22:40] IsambardPrince It's enough interest spread that it sort of makes the extra 5 years less painful anyway. [22:40] IsambardPrince ciphrCat: Moving the card debt around just costs you 3-5% every time you do it. [22:41] ciphrCat i've never seen a refinancing fee for transferring debt [22:41] IsambardPrince Taking out a balance transfer card only makes sense if you're already in a pickle and are trying to buy yourself 2 years. [22:41] ciphrCat you have a right to pay your debt off at any time with credit cards [22:41] IsambardPrince A balance transfer has a 3-5% fee charged up front the minute you transfer the debt to another card. [22:41] IsambardPrince Even if the intro rate is 0% APR. [22:42] ciphrCat sure, it only works for a brief time, so you have to be diligent to hop every 6-12 months [22:42] IsambardPrince There's BT cards out there with 21 to 24 months. [22:42] IsambardPrince They pay no rewards and they have a higher interest rate than most cards. [22:42] IsambardPrince Their goal is to get your debt into their bank, charge you so much that it's profitable even if you pay it all off during the intro. [22:43] IsambardPrince And VERY profitable if you don't. [22:43] IsambardPrince ciphrCat: The only way a BT card makes any sense in my opinion is if you have to finance a little bit of a car note. [22:43] IsambardPrince You can put some of it on a credit card and pay it off in the 21-24 months with no interest as long as it's paid. [22:44] IsambardPrince But using it for the down payment to get a car loan is fucking stupid. [22:44] IsambardPrince Because then you'll have car payments but $5,000-6,000 of it is on a credit card that's going to murder you if you don't pay it back quickly.

[23:12] IsambardPrince While that is better than 2 years of 22% on a normal or 30% APR on a horrible credit card, it still makes them some money. [23:12] IsambardPrince They're taking it up front because they don't want you to throw the amount you plan to pay it off with in an account and make interest the entire time. [23:12] IsambardPrince And effectively pay negative 5%. [23:13] IsambardPrince The bank is hedging some of their inflation loss. [23:13] IsambardPrince Not all off it, but on the average most people don't actually fix anything they're doing wrong. [23:13] IsambardPrince They just make minimum payments on it for 2 years and end up in the mess they were already in.
