A complete 15-page debt elimination system with Debt Snowball and Avalanche worksheets, a zero-based monthly budget template, a 12-month net worth tracker, and a DTI ratio calculator.
Four worksheets designed to work together — from mapping your current debt to tracking your net worth month by month.
List every debt from smallest to largest balance. Pay minimums on all, throw every extra dollar at the smallest. Builds momentum through quick wins.
Mathematically optimal — attack the highest-interest debt first. Saves the most money over time. Includes a side-by-side comparison with Snowball so you can choose your strategy.
Every dollar gets a job. Monthly income minus all expenses equals zero. Includes a sinking fund guide for irregular expenses that derail most budgets.
Track assets and liabilities every month. Watching your net worth grow — even slowly — is one of the most powerful motivators for staying on track.
The planner includes both methods with a built-in comparison so you can make an informed choice — not just follow generic advice.
Paying off small debts first gives you quick wins that keep you going. Research shows the psychological boost of eliminating accounts often outweighs the mathematical cost.
If your highest-interest debt is also your largest balance, Avalanche can save hundreds or thousands compared to Snowball. The worksheet shows you the exact dollar difference.
Pay off one small debt for the motivational boost, then switch to Avalanche for the rest. The planner includes a hybrid tracking column for this exact approach.
