Why are you still using credit card debt with sky high rates? At the very least, you should go to the bank and apply for a debt consolidation loan which will give you a much lower interest rate. How about a home equity loan? That's a much lower rate too. Since you are 65, how about a reverse mortgage if you own your home outright? You've probably got many options to get rid of those sky high usurious credit card interest rates.
A couple of these are on my agenda. Especially the reverse mortgage.
I am not happy with the present situation, but don’t plan to stay with it forever.
