that an effective way could be transferring your credit<br />

card balance. But before deciding on something like<br />

this it is always advisable to have a look at the pros and<br />

cons of such a step.<br />

Undoubtedly transferring credit card balances is a<br />

good option to save money. This can be better<br />

One option can be to transfer the balance to a card with a zero percent<br />

interest rate or even another card with a lower interest rate can help in savings<br />

if the current rate is higher. If someone has multiple credit card balances than<br />

transferring it is a good idea because this way one can be able to pay off credit<br />

card debt more quickly.<br />

A very popular option to pay off a lot of<br />

credit card debt is a reverse mortgage. Also<br />

known as the Home Equity Conversion<br />

<strong>Mortgage</strong> (HECM) which is a governmentinsured<br />

loan. The <strong>Reverse</strong> <strong>Mortgage</strong> helps<br />

the senior citizens get a portion of their<br />

home’s equity to obtain funds which are tax<br />

free and will not involve any monthly<br />

mortgage payments.<br />
