Debt consolidation and the home equity loan:

Debt consolidation often uses the equity in your home to pay off your debts. This situation does give you a quick way to pay your debts, and on the surface it can feel like you are making progress. You trade in your overwhelming, high-interest, unsecured debt for a low monthly payment that promises to be affordable. It works for some, but if the habit to save is not formed, and if the habit to spend more than you make is not broken; you might find yourself slipping up, missing a few monthly payments, and possibly risking your most valuable asset – your home!
