Here we go… Part 2
Now that you’ve listed out your debt… You did do that right? Which debts do you pay off first? Here are two things to keep in mind:
- Pay off small debts– Pay off the smallest one and then move on to successive ones. This gives you a sense of accomplishment by being able to mark debts off your list.
- Pay off higher interest rate debts– Start with the highest interest rate debt before lower ones.
Let’s make an example chart of debts:
| Type | Amount Owed | Monthly Payment | Interest Rate |
| Home Mortgage | $ 79,000 | $ 905 | 7.3% |
| 2nd Mortgage | $ 13,575 | $ 251 | 6.3% |
| Car Loan | $ 14,289 | $ 316 | 2.9% |
| Credit Card | $ 7,300 | $ 609 | 18.4% |
Which has the lowest amount due?
Credit Card
Which has the highest interest rate?
Credit Card
So for this example it’s simple. Work to pay off the Credit Card first.
