Survey finds 42% of people feel like they’ll have credit card debt until they die

But wouldn't it be stupid to pay off all of your credit card debt just before you die?!

Regards,

There is a certain unassailable logic in that.😁

Depends on whether you have property you want to pass onto your kids. A large credit card debt may force the sale to pay it off or cause cash crunches for your kids as they try to salvage their inheritance from the parents debt.

Unless you are smart enough to have filed a TOD deed.
