WSJ Your Money Briefing · After Paying Off Your Credit-Card Debt, What's Next? · 21 May 2021 podcast

Credit card companies are getting a little bit more comfortable offering.

lending to others, extending more offers.

And so you might have a chance to do a balance transfer if you're still carrying that credit card debt.

And with a balance transfer, a lot like refinancing, you're often coming into a lower offer.

There's also the ability sometimes to have no interest

for a certain period of time or not have to pay for a certain number of months.

So it's definitely worth checking out the different offers that are coming onto the market right now because credit card providers are definitely increasing their offers back to what they were pre-pandemic.

Yeah, so some financial advisors are recommending not paying down all of your debt right now because they're really seeing this as a strategic time, a real opportunity for some people to take care of some other responsibilities and also kind of shield themselves from the uncertainty that's still coming.

There are a lot of people who are still unsure of what next year could look like.

We're still on our way out of the pandemic.

So instead of paying off all of your debt right now, a lot of financial advisors are recommending, you know, just keep paying your minimums.

But, you know, keep putting money into your retirement fund.

Keep putting money into your emergency savings and really focus on building that up.

Because as we know, you can never quite expect a rainy day.

Thanks for having me.

They might not be offering you as much, which is making people kind of rethink, you know, what is this doing in my wallet?

Thank you for having me.

Absolutely.

Always happy when I can try to put on a psychologist hat.
