💸 The Spending Leak
Many people earn enough but feel broke because of invisible spending. A user on r/personalfinance captured this perfectly, realizing they spent $2,500 in a single month on 'dumb shit' while juggling a $1,000 credit card balance and car loans.
Let's see how capturing even a fraction of your spending leaks can accelerate your debt payoff. Enter your own monthly leak to find out how much interest you could save.

💳 Target Debt
Identify the debt you want to eliminate first. In the Reddit story, the user had a $1,000 credit card balance weighing them down alongside a few biweekly accident payments.
Redirecting a portion of your wasted spending toward this balance acts like a turbo boost. We assume a standard 24% APR for the default credit card debt.
