Create a strategic debt payoff plan that gets you debt-free faster and saves on interest
I want to create a plan to pay off my debt strategically and efficiently. My debts are: [DEBT_LIST] (for each debt include type, balance, interest rate, and minimum payment) My monthly take-home income is [MONTHLY_INCOME]. Amount I can put toward debt above minimum payments: [EXTRA_PAYMENT] My preferred payoff strategy: [STRATEGY:select:debt avalanche highest interest first,debt snowball smallest balance first,unsure recommend one,balance transfer or consolidation options]. My biggest challenge with debt payoff: [CHALLENGE:select:staying motivated,unexpected expenses,not enough extra money,too many accounts to track,high interest eating my payments]. Do I have an emergency fund? [EMERGENCY_FUND:select:yes at least 1000,partially,no nothing saved]. Create a complete debt payoff plan that prioritizes my debts in the optimal order, calculates when each debt will be paid off, shows total interest I will pay with this plan, includes a month-by-month payment schedule, suggests ways to accelerate payoff, and addresses my specific challenge. Compare different strategies if I am unsure which to use. Include motivational milestones to celebrate along the way.

Get Early AccessDebt feels like a treadmill. You make payments every month and the balances barely move. High interest eats into your payments. Multiple accounts make it hard to see progress. Without a strategy, motivation dies and the debt stays.
It creates a complete debt payoff plan from your actual numbers. You provide your [DEBT_LIST] with each balance, interest rate, and minimum payment, then choose your [STRATEGY]: avalanche (highest interest first) for saving the most money, or snowball (smallest balance first) for quick wins that keep you motivated. Not sure which is better? The AI compares both and recommends one.
The plan includes a month-by-month payment schedule, calculates when each debt disappears, and shows your total interest cost. It builds in motivational milestones and addresses your specific [CHALLENGE], whether that is staying motivated, handling surprise expenses, or managing too many accounts.

Attack high-interest credit card debt with a focused plan. The avalanche method typically saves the most on credit cards because interest rates are high. The AI calculates exactly how much interest you save versus minimum payments.
