I have about 25k in student loan debt, at 9% interest.
At this rate, I'll end up paying 37k+ [until the year 2017]…
However, I can pay it off completely NOW on a credit card, with a 3.99% FIXED rate APR, until the balnce is paid off. This credit card currently has a zero balance.
So, no matter how long it takes me to pay off this credit card, the APR will never go above 3.99%.
Do you think this is a good idea? Bad idea ??
Why or why not ??
Thanks!
I asked this question 2x in both the Finance and Credit categories but got no responses.
Thanks.
