I would consider doing a credit card balance transfer to a credit card that is offering 0% APR.I am in the process of transferring ~9k in CC debt from my Navy Federal CC (13%) to a Citi CC with 0% APR on balance transfer for 21 months at a 3% fee (~$200).

Look around the world, the strongest currencies going forward will be Aussie Dollar, Canuck Dollars, and Brazilian Real among others (not familiar witht he economy of Latvia LOL).

This was back in the early 90’s, I was fresh out of the Navy and was living w/ my parents in San Diego at the time.

I am currently in the navy and am planning on purchasing my first property towards the end of next year before I leave the service.

@Gail Leonard Navy Federal Credit Union has a 100%, no PMI conventional loan product called HomeBuyers Choice.

Mostly Marines here at Camp Lejeune (some Navy). 

With Navy Fed you can direct deposit with only a name and email, do not know what bank you use but maybe they have a similar setup.

We got started buy buying personal properties and than renting them out when we were transferred (husband active duty Navy).  

We are investors by night with a goal of early retirement with the Navy at age of 42 and 44. 

We talked about ICF, his time in Colombia prior to starting this venture, his time in the Canadian Navy, and so much more.
