IMO, this is "splitting hairs", pun intended, and frankly if you're excited to be on baby steps of saving and personal financial accountability, and it's already derailed, I think it behooves oneself to reassess priorities in life. THAT SAID, it's your money and if hair must be done, hair must be done. Just realize what's happening financially GL

Quick and easy to sign up for a savings account and earn 3% APY at this time. Not life changing money but it doesn't hurt. E.g. carry low 5-figures and earn $25 per month interest

I would only leverage my house if I felt otherwise secure in my finances and did not have any month-to-month issues with paying off my revolving credit card debt. So, me being a carefully observant CC user, yes I would absolutely leverage my house to pay off CC debt of that size (my home equity ~300k+). But I never carry a CC balance. So I'd ask myself, why am I carrying a $12k balance this time? Was it a highly specific, one-time purchase that is a practical purchase? E.g., if I really needed backup generator and electrical upgrades to secure my family in our home over the winter, I might invest $15k for a system. Maybe that's the transient reason for my CC debt.

Reply to "Storrow" v. Attempting to drive a tall truck under a short bridge, to catastrophic effect. by Rowona
“Someday, when I’m long since gone, my name will be remembered. People from Biloxi to Bombay will know the name ‘Storrow’ and all it represents. Maybe it will be my law career, or my investment banking successes. Or maybe my business acumen as a GM founder. Or yet still, my time on the Boston City Counsel. God willing!”
~ James J. Storrow in 1925, probably

Moved to suburbs
What I miss about Boston (other than my long-lost youth): living in and just the vibe of the North End; riding Hubway bikes; Celtics games on a whim; fireworks shows; tennis by the Charlestown bridge; skating at Steriti rink; walking the Common; Haymarket. And much more

I saw a Mercedez SUV and a white pickup nearly get into a road rage-infused accident near the HOV entrance northbound today at the braintree split, at like 540am. 93 is a state of mind
