Money Expert Reacts to Broke TikTokers...Again

[@TheKingOfCasuals]

I transfered to a 0 percent card and then paid everything off in 10 months. I dont get why what i did was wrong. I saved a ton of money. Now im debt free with an emergancy fund

[@Yugiboii]

YOU did it right

[@kunya16]

It's not wrong IF you pay it off. It'll save you a mass amount of money in interest payments. Most people don't pay it off and all that interest you didn't pay suddenly gets tacked on. They make money and you're in even deeper. Just don't be that guy.

[@Dave-my1we]

You didn’t do anything wrong. The key was that you actually DID pay it off. The Ramsey mantra recognizes that the vast majority of folks will do the transfer and STILL NOT PAY OFF THE DEBT. So, they say: “don’t do it”. The math is on your side and since you also brought the personal dedication and focus to solve the problem (that most people don’t), you did everything right. Ramsey would now tell you to just cancel the new cards (and the old one) so that you don’t fall into the trap again. And that is good advice.

[@rare2find0918]

As many have already said and I agree with...a transfer to a 0% credit id absolutely a great idea IF the person focuses on paying the transferred debt off and not accruing any additional charges on the old or new card. This takes discipline...and those that have it will save tons in interest and pay the debt off faster. I did a balance transfer a few months ago and have paid 3500 at 0% towards a debt that had 23% interest attached....that is a WIN.

[@lets-celebrviii]

The cool thing is, you don’t have to pay it off faster. You just have to pay it off within the 0% interest window. If you have 18 months to pay it off, use all 18 months because 100% of it goes toward the principal. Any extra money you don’t need to put towards it can go towards building an emergency fund. You can basically kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

Love the advice on this channel, but if you're serious about getting out of debt, and you're gonna be gazel intense, then transferring a debt at 22% interest to a 0% interest card is just a smart idea. However, if you are going to just keep doing what you have been doing and not change your behaviour and not cut up the credit cards after you pay them off, then it's a waste of time.

[@danielartzer]

Shh... Ramsey personalities are much more interested in you doing their plan perfectly than they are about actually making smart decisions.

[@Allan_A]

⁠their plan works for a broad section of people. Your suggestion is mathematically correct, but credit card companies offer 0% balance transfers because they know the majority of people who do balance transfers end up in MORE debt than before the balance transfer.

[@sarah18914]

We did the transfer to save us money and paid off the debt and now have $0 cc debt. However, I married someone with credit card debt and didn’t have any myself. So I wasn’t really a danger with credit cards and we were able to get on the same page and get them paid off. For most people that have credit card debt it’s a bad idea because it gives them more room for more debt and they’ve already proven themselves untrustworthy with credit cards.

Transfering credit card debt to a zero interest card is a really smart way to get out of CC debt. You obviously pay a fee, but it’s usually a percent of the debt, and a tiny fraction of what you would have paid in interest. Obviously it’s not good if you use it to just spend more, but for many people it helps them to pay off the debt. My gf got into debt paying for essentials during college, and she could only afford the min payment and like 75% of that was going to interest. Lowering the interest rate a lot allowed her to pay more toward the actual principal. Most people don’t have the ability to just ‘pay the debt off’. That comes from an incredibly privileged POV, obviously people would if they could.

[@TheyRiseBand]

That's correct. 3% vs 30% is a rather large difference.

[@obamaslastname5336]

And not to mention, just because you switch to a 0% interest card doesn't mean you not "paying it off" it's a more efficient way TO PAY IT OFF. That girl in the TikTok is right I don't know why he said "nope, just pay it off" like that's not literally what she said.

[@misterskippy2u]

Always read the fine print. Some "zero interest for X months" cards are zero interest for new purchases only. They apply the full interest rate (or a special balance transfer interest rate) to balance transfers. If a person is not careful, they could pay MORE in interest after the balance transfer.

[@andresprieto3323]

I think it's just to discourage people from thinking they "paid off their credit card debt" by transferring it over to another one only to rack up more credit card debt in that "freed up" card. I've seen others fall into that mentality many times and just dig a bigger hole. I agree with you though. I did a balance transfer and was able to pay off all of my credit card debt faster, then I cut up all my credits cards because I'm not willing to go through all of that again lol.

Right. She specifically said use the 0% interest break to pay off the debt.

My main pet peeve is when they say to stop 401k contributions and then frame it as either stopping, paying off debt, and then contributing 15% or not stopping, never pay off debt, and only ever contribute the match. No you can still contribute up to the match and still pay off debt.

Yeah I came to the comments for exactly this. I get that they don't trust people enough to not just end up using both credit cards, but to not even ACKNOWLEDGE the original author's stance and then argue the merit of your position that having an additional card is a risk . Her stance was that debt is bad, don't get into it, that she's advocating this as a way out of debt by paying it off faster and that she was even intellectually aware/honest about the risk of the fee and why it still makes sense... George could learn from her about presenting an opposing point to discuss why it doesn't change your position - makes your argument even stronger to have acknowledged those points and then argue why they aren't persuasive. it just shows that George has a religious dogma now about how credit cards are just bad, and he's incapable of seeing past it.

These credit card companies know exactly what they're doing. They know that people will tell themselves "Great! I'll pay off all of my debt before the 18 months is over and I'll pay 0% interest all that time" but in most cases, what actually happens is that they spend even more and get into even deeper debt. When those 18 months are over, guess what? You didn't read the fine print? Well, too bad, because by not paying it all off by the end of 18 months, you also now owe them 100% of that 18 months worth of interest on top of everything else you owe since transferring your balance. TL;DR - IT'S A TRAP. These credit card companies set it up like this because it makes them the most money.

Ramsey folks once again, not bothering to do the maths. Balance transfers can save money. If you're paying 25% APR on $10,000 of debt, paying a one-time fee (typically 3-5%) to be 0% for 12 months would save you about $2000 in interest. It's helpful - if you have a plan to get debt paid down within the period. It's only dangerous if you are using it as an excuse to keep overspending.

Down a notch but you can do Factor or other prepaid meal service or actually leave the house and have a lunch meeting for business or social. You know there are shopping services that will deliver the groceries so yeah, no need to get the valet to pull around the G wagon. Chances are all are healthier choices than that door dash/uber eats. Real wealthy people don't get and stay that way by chucking away 30% markup on food.

[@smileyeagle1021]

The first girl accidentally almost gave good advice... if you can refinance all of your credit cards into one lower interest loan, have a fixed payment that guarantees that you will pay it off in a fixed amount of time (and of course, still make extra payments whenever you can), and then lock up those cards and never touch them again. If you can cut 22% interest down to 10% interest, you'll pay a lot less in the long term, and by having fixed payments, it removes the will power and discipline aspect, you are forced to make those payments above what had been your minimum payment on the credit cards.

[@pdxmusl1510]

The reason i don't consider you guys educational is because of stuff like this. A 0% interest card is a completely valid way to pay off debt. Yet you act like its the most absurd thing you ever heard. Yes, the core of the problem is behavior, and that needs fixed. But assuming you've done that. It's not a bad plan. I know you teach the gazelle intensity & when you run the numbers for some of these things in that context, the percentage doesn't usually alter the payoff period by a lot of time. So changing to a zero card might save you weeks or a couple of months in that context. But again. A 0% card does allow you to pay off your debt faster. The more intensity you put into paying it off, the less it helps. But it still helps. It doesn't make the situation worse. Instead of ridiculing this girl as if your plan was better and hers is the worst. You could explain the situation and why a gazelle intensity modestly neutralizes interest percentage. And acknowledge that if your just paying off a bill without intensity its not a bad plan. For the record. I used 0% cards to pay off my dave ramsey moment. My debt got called by creditors. I payed it off with gazelle intensity & 0% cards. For my case it did save me months to use the 0% card up to a point. But i was angry at my creditors so.. if there was anything i could do to shave 5s off how long i owed them money i would have done it. My point is.. if it saves you weeks and weeks matter. Use it. If it doesn't. Don't. You all need to learn nuance in your advice. Nuance & talking about differences in how things work and why your plan is beter is NOT a betrayal of your principles. You can still say taking out debt is bad. And still say taking a 0% card can be effective under certain circumstances. But we would rather you do my plan instead amd heres why. Instead you gaslight the audience. You are not educators. Your entertainment only.

[@ChantalsBulgingEyebrow]

literally what i said that take is insane, it’s actually a great way to pay off debt

[@bvoyelr]

Agreed. The Ramsey plan seems to be to use gazelle intensity to attack the problem head on without doing a lick of math. Which does work for lots of people. But you can be gazelle intense AND do math at the same time. In fairness, I think there is something to be said for the psychology of what Dave and crew do: they radically eliminate distractions and thought from the process so truly addicted people can attack the problem with single minded focus. Any decision that has to be made along the way is a chance for that intensity to wane and for people to backslide. But I don't know if it requires them to declare that any other method is inferior or wrong. They can have their program while acknowledging there are more efficient ways to do it for those who aren't hopelessly addicted to debt.

[@danh2716]
