What we’re looking for:

Debt consolidation

Debt consolidation is when you pay off your credit cards by means of taking of a second mortgage on your house.

Debt consolidation is worthwhile if you see that the total payment is less then your credit card payment and, or car payments, and also worthwhile when you are in need of extra cash for anything ranging from home improvement to college education for your children.

Even if the saving is small you might take into consideration that the new  loan will be tax deductible which will save you quite a lot of money.

Once you pay off your credit cards the prudent thing is not to use the cards any more, which for some people might mean tearing up the credit cards.
