We were able to refinance in 2020 down to a 3.25% 30 year fixed interest rate... we want to pay off our credit card debt using our equity, but are torn because the interest rates have gone up; we were quoted over 5% to refinance our home and roll in our debt. Is this a good move or should we explore other options?”
