Chuck Jaffe: Rate Hikes Hit Credit Cards; Hit Them Back

FYI: While consumers can’t do much about the stock market other than figure out how they want to ride out the bumps and rolls, they can take steps that will improve their net worth by digging in on their debt.

    Thanks@ Ted,

    I'm contemplating the following. Using a credit card offer for 12 month at 0%. The CC has a flat $35 transfer fee and would allow me to pay off a 3.5% personal loan one year early. Paying that loan off 12 months early would save me $525 in interest.

    Just one way of managing short term debt in a low interest rate environment.
