Being in debt is universal. Everyone falls into the trap of spending more than he can afford. Credit cards, specifically, gives one the impression that he has money, that his spending capacity is higher when in truth; his disposable income has not increased a bit. Using this tiny plastic card is deceiving because you do not see money go away; you do not see cash going out of your wallet. Come payment time, you realize you really do not have the means to pay for what you have already ... more...

Unsecured loans are some of the most available ways to consolidate your debts because, as the name suggests, they do not really need you to put anything on the line. Thus credit cards and similar debt consolidation arrangements have become very common in recent years. However, one big problem with unsecured loans for debt consolidation was that they usually had high interest rates attached to them.
