 Paying off Debt
Calling all financial experts. If you had 17k in debt at 5% APR and 21k in debt at 10% Apr, would you pay all the extra payments to the 21k at 10% and only pay the minimum on the 17k?

 Re: Paying off Debt
At quick glance, yes; $21k is more than $17k, and 10% is higher than 5%...

 Re: Paying off Debt
I've never been in debt but I can't really think of any reason not to pay the bigger one with more interest.

 Re: Paying off Debt
Maybe you can do a balance transfer to a new credit card that has no interest for x amount of months if your credit allows you to open another card.
