👋 Overview
Recovering from a massive financial shock—like a $150k debt spiral—requires radical transparency and a concrete plan. This calculator models the strategy from a relatable recovery story: using a chunk of savings to wipe out the most urgent debts (like taxes), then consolidating the rest into a single monthly payment. Plug in your numbers to see how much you save by consolidating.
🚨 The Damage
List your total outstanding balances. In the story, the user faced $120k in consumer debt and a $30k tax bill.
💰 The Resources
How much cash can you deploy right now, and what is your monthly payoff budget? The story's plan uses $50k from savings and commits $3,000/month from a $6,500 combined income.
🏦 Consolidation Plan
After applying your lump sum, the remaining balance is consolidated into a single loan. Estimate the interest rate you can secure compared to your current rates.
