correct phrase [which will in effect increase] or [doing so will in effect increase]

Post by ansonman »

I have made up the sentences below.

(1) I don't want to borrow any more money, which will in effect increase my financial burden.

(2) I don't want to borrow any more money. Doing so will in effect increase my financial burden.

I am not sure which one is correct. Please help me. Thank you.

Either construction is possible, but "would' would be better than 'will'.
