For a 401k loan, it is due in full if you leave the company for any reason. Keep that in mind.
My husband left his job and it's not due in full. They gave him a payment plan

Interest rates? You need to look at how much interest you are accruing for every debt, every month.
Okay, I like spreadsheets as well, so this was cool to see. I have a question about your spreadsheet: did your calculations take interest rate into account so you have accurate payoff dates? I just didn't see it in the video. Thanks!
I was thinking the same thing
Just having a realistic goal is a huge move forward! Congratulations again on getting out from under the Amazon card. I'm glad that you acknowledged that the original plan was aggressive (unrealistic) and reevaluated. You are doing amazing at keeping your momentum at paying everything off. Best of luck in getting out from under this financial burden!
It would be interesting to see that snowball compared to the avalanche method, and how much interest you'd pay for each. It can be eye opening to see how much interest you pay in each scenario
Your video is an endless well of motivation! -- "Each setback holds a gem of wisdom within.."
Hello 👋 this maybe the last piece of the puzzle but, it’s also the biggest…..
interest rates. I did some quick math and I think you’ve included compounding interest in your calculations, which is excellent!
But I’m not quite sure because, for instance, if you pay $120.70/month to Costco, for 42 months, that equals $5,069.40, which is your balance (right?) and does not include the compound interest.
Is the Costco card 0% interest?
😬😬😬😬😬😬 take a look at the Apple Card.
If your interest rate is 16% (guessing), and your balance is $2271, and you pay $75 a month…..the balance (including compounding interest) will be paid off in 38 months.
That’s $583 of compounding interest that I don’t think was considered in your calculations.
Was it?
Did you accrue $3070 in student loan interest last month?
I want to see you figure this out! You can do this. But you can ONLY do this if the math adds up.
So I have to second guess my original comment tonight and say, I fear that you’re not taking compounding interest into consideration or apply it to your calculations.
You can do this. 🌸
Hi!!! The Best Buy card is the one with no interest. I do have a MASSIVE excel sheet that I just made (after uploading this actual video) but I'm using the Snowball method, which does not account for interest rates. I think that method is the Avalanche Method.
Just like with all credit cards, as the balance lowers, so does the minimum payment. Because my balance is so high, I showed what my current minimum payments are now
Oh gosh. Ok. Well all methods have to account for interest. All methods….
But as you go through the months, I think it’ll be easy to see what I’m talking about. A baseline is… if you put $3000 toward your debts each month, how much does your total debt go down by in that month? I fear that you’ll see the debt going up, not down; it’s the compounding interest that has to be calculated and considered in order to defeat the increasing interest.
@@budgetsavvyashcash7281to clarify something I said…
I understand you’re doing snowball and therefore not looking at interest rates. The only reasons why interest rates matter to your plan, however, is because you have a timeline of when you’ll be out of debt by. The timeline would only be accurate if you included interest in your excel calculations.
I really think you need to take the interest rates in too account as well. Im not sure how you decided what order to pay off your debt but always start with your highest intrest rate. That way you are paying less in the end and you can use that money to pay off your other loans quicker as well( I can show the math if necessary). Interest rates do matter and should be included. Sometimes you can also call the credit card companies and they will give you a lower rate if you haven't done so already. Good luck
She is using the snowball method, paying down smallest to largest, as she explained in the video. What you are referring to is the avalanche. Both work, just a little differently 😊
@@halfmoonyogi4997but the timeline will change depending on compounding interest. More interest will take more time.
Always pay of a zero % deal at least two months before the term. The retailer will do a lot to ensure you pay the interest.
I'm invested in your debt free journey. Having realistic goals and staying consistent is so important. Best wishes!!! 😊
You did a phenomenal job describing and showing the snowball method and just how helpful even $25 extra a month can be!
WE LOVE AN EXCEL QUEEN
This is such an amazing sort of “projection” to have! I truly hope you can throw a lot more extra to all debt so that it’ll take even less time. I’m rooting for you girl!
Omg this was a great video. I wish I knew excel like you did. You explained everything so well. You honestly motivate me.
Yay! You’re back! I’m turning on notifications, I didn’t realize that you had posted a video earlier!
You inspired me to start budgeting. Thank you!
hi maybe if you start paying from lowest to highest what will should be or highest to lowest loan? hi everyone if you just need help in terms of encoding maybe i can help. since i need an online job too thankyou.
This is a great idea and you’re going to kill it ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉
Love your breakdown. Very well done❤

I have a 401k loan also but it is the only loan I'm letting ride out to the end since it's all going back into my 401k.
