2 ways -

1. put saving into FD ...
2. find more money

I wouldn't suggest FD , should invest in mutual fund or something similiar .

Else the inflation will kill your money.

Hi bros here....

need help to calculate a bit .

Is it best to take a loan to payback credit card debts ?

Loan from RHB

Borrow 4k , every month pay 378.24 for 12 months (Interest 13.38%) = 378.24 X12 = RM4538.88

The interest seems lower than the bank but am I really saving money by doing like this ? unsure.gif unsure.gif unsure.gif unsure.gif


Thanks in advance notworthy.gif

Whoa.. effective rate of interest is about 26.98%pa (if the sample used is correct)? U sure that's LESS that yr credit card? Looks similar to credit card charges.

got a partly qualified accountant in GGC u dun ask doh.gif

Personal loan to pay off credit card debt is NEVER a good idea, the effective interest rate is way higher

Keep ur CC balance, pay AS MUCH AS U CAN every month is the better option icon_rolleyes.gif

I didn't know you can count ma tongue.gif tongue.gif

If :"pay AS MUCH AS U CAN every month" is not an option.


So guys , meaning if I pay monthly 378.24 to my credit , the interest is lesser than the loan ?
