Reply to comment by Maece in Need help making decision on how to spend my tax refund. by [deleted]

I’d have 0% interest on the Lowe’s card. Would hopefully pay it off by the end of the summer

If you have the option of having a loan at 0% or a loan at 12%, I know which I would take. Obviously, that CC won't be at 0% forever, but if you are confident you can pay it down before the rate resets, you would come out ahead. That said, the rate on that CC is going to reset to something like 27%, which is even more insane, so before taking on that debt, be damn sure you can pay it back before it resets.

Right, I’d only have 12months to pay it down. I’m positive I could do that just worried that paying off the 12% loan would wipe our account. I see your point though thank you seems like the better option
