How about doing a balance transfer to lower or zero interest card and maximize your payments on the balance transfer card. I got myself out debt this way a few years back.

There are CCs that will give you Zero interest for a year on balance transfers and you can maximize your payments to quickly pay down your balance.

Or if you don't want to open a new line or credit for a balance transfer card, you can maybe check with your bank or CC and see if they offer very low interest rate on balance transfers.

If you're looking for a town with water I would recommend Milford, CT. While it doesn't count as coastal it does have multiple beaches, good schools, safe neighborhoods, a mall, a movies, and a train station that can get you directly to NYC.

Downtown Milford is a great place to rent. There's a beautiful green, lots of restaurants, and the train as I mentioned (your boyfriend might want to visit Brooklyn or even just Manhattan).

It's just something I wanted to throw out there.

Meh, the balloon stuff was pretty low-grade, silly stuff, with a lot of posturing on both sides, I’m not too worried about China not picking up on that stuff.

They did pick up Milley’s calls when trump was engaging in some serious sabre rattling, so still consider that red line to be up and running if/when actually necessary. Not clear if this will hold up long term, but all the incentives favour maintaining this kind of fail safe line of communication.
