Well, that same caller said they could save about $450 a month over the current set up.

Add to that the tax advantag Introductory Article Marketing Recently I heard a well respected finance advisor give advice to a caller on a tv show with this question...Article marketing seems to be the buzz word in web site marketing and SEO (search engine optimization) lately.

I have spoken to a mortgage company about refinancing my mortgage and consolidating my debt into a payment we can manage. What should we do?" The answer was given... "Do not refinance your home! Why would you do that? Why risk your home by adding more debt to it? I want you to go out and get a second job and work hard to pay this off." I could not believe this advice!

Take away the increased expenses occurred (gas, wear and tear on vehicle, etc) and count roughly $100 a week to add towards the debt. Again, we will forget the whole compound interest on the card balances (as if the credit card companies would do that!) At $100 a week, you would get that $20,000 paid off in roughly 200 weeks. That's nearly 4 years working every week. (Now add back the interest, and how long would that take?) Wow.. not so bad huh? Where do I sign up?
