The challenge of dealing with debt is the need to make multiple repayments to various lenders. This is why debt consolidation is a great idea. It works by combining a number of different debts into a single loan.

Do you have a mortgage?

Your home loan is often a good choice for debt consolidation as it comes with the lowest rate of all types of credit. One downside is that you may be transferring a short-term debt (like a credit card balance) into a 20 or 30-year term loan. However, by utilising our Living Expenses challenge you will quickly reduce all debt much faster.

No Mortgage

If you don’t have a mortgage, a personal loan can be a good choice. The term is fixed so you have a clear end date, and the set repayments are easier to budget for. There are many useful apps for tracking your budget on the go. You can set goals and budgets and track transactions. Every dollar spent is automatically categorised so you know exactly where your money is going. and you can adjust categories to fit your lifestyle and check in regularly with monthly reports.
