I would like to apply for a home loan, but I have some credit card debt. I have good credit - never missed a payment, never been late, etc. I just don’t know if having credit card debt will cause me to be declined.
The bank will add in your credit card dept along with any other loans or debts and will assess it against your income and the amount of your home loan will be estimated taking into account your ability to pay.
A bank will usually take the total amount of your credit card limit as your debt, not how much you’ve used of it. So, if you have a card limit of $30,000 but have only used up $1000 of it the bank will see it that your debt is $30,000, not the $1000. That’s the downside. Banks won’t usually decline you for a home loan just because you have a c/card. They work on your ability to pay your loan.
If possible, try and pay off your card and destroy it! Have a debit card instead, then you only have access to money that you have, not money that you don’t have!
Great Britain is sitting on a one trillion pound debt - a time bomb just waiting to explode! What does God, our Creator say about all this? Is Britain living in a ‘virtual reality’? This book was written by Tope Teniola as a wake-up call for all who have been blinded to the spiritual implications of debt being so rife in our society, especially in the Church and reveals how it damages our health and divides families. It seeks to point out the relevant scriptures required for better and deeper spiritual understanding of debt. By meditating on God’s Word, which should always be the last Word, and following the suggested practical solutions, it will help everyone who no longer wants to remain in debt, to find a way out. God is a God of second chances and wants to give everyone a fresh start in life. Read this book of debt revelation and do not look back!

I need some motivation people! I want to commit to reducing my credit card debt this year; but, it seems a bit overwhelming. Please share stories of how you reduced your debt. Maybe that can psych me up to keep sacrificing and paying off these debts. Thanks!
YOU can do it.
I decided that I would not go out to eat lunch every day while at work
On the days that I needed to go out to eat if I could find a wendy’s I could get a side salad and a bowl of chili (with plenty of FREE crackers) and a cup of water for about $2.10.
I was amazed at how much I saved by just cutting out the ‘canteen’ while at work. If I needed a soda, I brought it from home…
I paid my niece (age 7) to be the ‘light police’ ! I went to the store and got a few rolls of dimes…everytime she would catch someone leaving a room without turning off a light she would get paid…she loved doing it and since it was so annoying my son got way better about doing it.
The biggest way that I saved money was taking a list to the store….(and eating before I went). If it was not on the store I could not buy it…that way I knew before hand nearly how much I was going to spend….and it forced me to actually MAKE dinner for the week….which of course doubled as lunch the next day…..
I also sold quite a bit of stuff on ebay. If I hadn’t worn in within two years….ebay was going to help me find someone who could…this was a ‘double bonus’ because it forced me to clean up…..
Lastly, I dedicated HALF of my income tax refund to managing debt!
Before I did ANYTHING else HALF went to pay down debt.
SInce I had two cards, I paid one of them off completely which allowed me to double up on the other
If you have small children - check out garage sales for great finds on clothing..often times you can get an entire summers worth of clothing for a 5 6 or 7 year old for less than $20.00 at a yard sale in one of the more exclusive neighborhoods in your town.
I went to one last year where everything I could fit into a bag was $2.00. i stuffed it full of jeans that he could pay in while playing at the daycare or outside….
Which brings me to ‘washing clothing only twice per week’
This allows me to make sure that I have a full load of clothing
Guess that is it for now but I did want to say that YOU CAN DO THIS
and a little sacrafice now will reap you loads of happiness later
