Is Consolidating Your Debt Worth It?

Debt consolidation makes sense when your new rate is meaningfully lower than the blended rate you're paying across your existing debts. Credit cards routinely charge 19.99% or more, so rolling those balances into a secured loan at single-digit rates can save hundreds of dollars in interest every month.

The cheapest consolidation options are usually secured against your home — a mortgage refinance or a HELOC — because they carry the lowest rates. Just weigh any prepayment penalty to break your current mortgage term against the interest you'll save.

The key is discipline: consolidation only works if you stop adding new high-interest debt. Use the single lower payment to clear the balance faster, not to free up room to borrow again.
