Hey, I'm Mac
"Quick win": the Minimum Payment Trap tool. Put in a balance, the interest rate, and the minimum monthly payment and this tool shows you how long the minimum-payment game keeps you chained. Then slide in even a small extra amount and watch the payoff timeline collapse. Thatβs the point: the trap isnβt you β itβs the math.β
