The Roadmap

Seven Steps, In Order, No Skipping

01

Write every debt on one page

Balance, interest rate, minimum payment. You cannot fix what you refuse to look at.

02

Stop the bleeding

No new debt from today. Freeze the cards, delete saved card numbers, cancel BNPL.

03

Build a small buffer

$1,000 set aside so the next surprise doesn't put you straight back on the cards.

04

Attack one debt at a time

Snowball for momentum, avalanche for maths. Roll every cleared payment forward.

05

Cut the interest rate

A phone call, a 0% transfer or a consolidation loan can take years off the plan.

06

Out-earn the problem

An extra $400 a month aimed at debt turns a five-year plan into a two-year one.

07

Never go back

Keep paying the same amount — into savings this time. Three to six months of expenses.
