What do you owe?

Everything except your mortgage. Nothing you type here leaves your browser.

Your debts

Everything except your mortgage — credit cards, car notes, student loans, medical bills, buy-now-pay-later.

Why smallest first

The math matters. Finishing matters more.

01

You need a win early

Paying the highest interest rate first saves a little more on paper. But most people quit before it works. Knocking out a small balance in six weeks is what keeps you in the fight.

02

The payment rolls forward

When a debt is gone, its payment doesn't go back into your lifestyle. It gets added to the next one. By the last debt you're throwing everything at it at once.

03

Extra is the whole game

Minimums are designed to keep you paying for decades. Try adding $50 above, then $200, and watch the date move. That gap is what cutting an expense actually buys you.

04

A date beats a feeling

"Someday" is not a plan. A specific month you can circle on a calendar is. Screenshot it, put it on the fridge, and work backwards from there.

Now go do it

A date is the start, not the finish.
