- Pay off the interest-carrying debt in monthly payments quicky but not immediately. (Maybe 4 months.) Then take that monthly payment, or a bit less, - mara Aug 26, 07:22 3
  - yep - one little addition - if the zero percent is on more than one card, apply all extra money to the one with the zero rate that will end first. -- nm - Andie Aug 26, 07:26 2

- What znu and loosi said. Liquid is good esp. with 0%. What is it that they recommend? 2 months salary in savings? -- nm - znufrii si Aug 26, 07:20
- if it's zero percent, keep making payments, don't zero the savings. -- nm - loosilu Aug 26, 07:18
