First, let me say that I don't have anything in co
Like I said, we're not in real trouble yet but I don't want us to get into real trouble but I don't know all that much about finances. I can use my common sense to pick out the things that need to be paid off first because of higher interest rates but I have no idea how to calculate the savings and compare all my loans, credit cards, etc on all the smaller stuff. I'm also finding it difficult to come up with a significant amount to pay extra on any of my expenses because of all the little expenses that really gnaw away at your income. Can you help? Give me some advice on how to figure all of this out and how to set up a plan that is actually plausible? Also can you explain the whole 401K loan concept to me? Any suggestions you might have will be greatly appreciated and you have my thanks in advance for taking the time and trouble to do this.
Thanks,
Teresa

See, there are a lot of ways one might go about solving this problem. Some of us will simply try to pay off the credit card that charges the highest APR. If you're not in a position to assess your risks, you may go for a free counseling session with any of these credit repair services.
