StudiogicMinimum payments are a subscription to your own debt. The balance does not move. The APR does not care.
Carrying a balance on a 24 percent APR card while holding cash in a savings account paying 4 percent is a math problem, not a discipline problem.
Your 401k contribution looks responsible on paper. Your credit card APR is quietly erasing it.
Student loan minimum payments are not progress. They are a monthly fee for debt that barely shrinks.
A balance transfer with a 0 percent intro APR and no payoff plan is a debt relocation, not a debt solution.
I built a system that calculates your actual debt payoff date the moment you enter your balances. Most people have never seen that number.
Balance transfer offers lower your APR for a window of time. Most people fill the old card back up before the window closes.
Credit scores measure how well you manage debt, not how well you manage money. Those are not the same thing.
A FICO score above 750 gets you approved. It does not get you out of debt. Approval and stability are not the same outcome.
Student loan minimum payments extend your payoff date by years. That is not a repayment plan. That is a payment plan for your payment plan.
