Based on your 18.9% APR, you could save significantly by transferring to a 0% APR card for 18 months.

Understand APR

Your Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is the yearly cost of borrowing. Because credit cards compound daily, the actual interest you pay is often higher than the nominal rate.

The Minimum Payment Trap

Paying only the minimum amount each month is designed to keep you in debt for decades. Even a $20 increase in your monthly payment can save you thousands in interest.

Snowball vs Avalanche

The Avalanche method prioritizes paying off high-interest cards first, while the Snowball method focuses on the smallest balances for psychological wins.
