Eliminating credit card debt is easy with a plan that is why you are reading this article. Here is how to eliminate credit card debt very quickly. Get a sheet of paper and draw five columns. First column is for the name of the debt, second column is the balance, and third column is the current minimum monthly payment. The forth and fifth column is a little tricky, in the forth column divide the balance by the minimum payment, do this for all the debts listed. In the fifth column you are going to prioritize the forth column, using the lowest answer as number one. Once you have these prioritized from one to??? This becomes the debt payoff priority. Please see examples below. It is important to note that to eliminate credit card debt the fastest you must stop using them. Also in the plan that you just created you will need to continue to pay whatever you are paying this month on each debt until the debt is paid off. The next step to eliminating these debts the quickest is using debt stacking. Once one debt is paid off you take the money that was going to make its monthly payment and apply it to the next debt in the order that was setup.
You can see that I included more then just credit card debts. This method will eliminate all types of debt. Next we will show you how to do the debt stacking, but first let me explain why we did not include the interest rates. The interest rate does not matter! This mathematical principle eliminates debt so quickly that it does not matter what the interest rates are. Let's now take the debt payoff priority and see how we to eliminate all types of debts very quickly. Lets redraw that list and put the debts in order of payoff priority
To see how debt stacking works we need to add a two more columns Column six – new payment - this column will be the new payment as each debt is paid off. So, when the credit card is paid off and we take the 100.00 dollars that was going to make that payment we apply it to the car payment coming up with a new payment of 426.00 when the car is paid off we take the 426.00 that was going to that payment and apply it to the visa so that we are paying 586.00 to the visa, and finally take the 586 and add it to the house payment for a new payment of 1867.00 until all paid off. Column seven – months to payoff – to calculate this column take column (2) and divide it by column (6) this gives a good idea of how long it will take to pay that debt off with a constant payment.
This whole process to eliminate credit card debt can be accelerated by adding a little extra to the new payment. The only caution is to apply it to only one debt, another words don't pay a little extra on each debt but focus on paying one debt off at a time. This is called debt stacking.
