Escape Credit Card DebtGet your life debt-free.
Map what you owe, stop the interest from winning, and pay it off with a plan you will actually finish.
You make the payment every month.
The balance barely moves. Most of it just vanishes into interest. And next month, you do it all again.
It isn’t your discipline that’s failing — it’s the math. Credit card debt is built to be hard to escape.
This guide changes the math.
What You’ll Learn
See your numbers — free
Enter your cards to see your payoff date, the interest you’d save — and switch to Interest breakdown to watch exactly how much of each payment is being eaten by interest right now. This Blueprint is the complete system for acting on it.

What each box means
- Balance — how much you still owe on that card or loan.
- APR % — the yearly interest rate. It’s printed on your statement (for example, 22.99).
- Min. payment — the smallest amount your lender makes you pay each month.
- Extra per month — any money you can pay on top of the minimums. You keep paying every minimum, and your extra all goes to one debt at a time — the highest interest rate first. When that debt is gone, the money rolls to the next one, so you finish as fast as possible. (It’s not split evenly across them.)

Your next actions
- Attack Store card first — at 26.99% it’s costing you about $27/mo in interest right now. It’s also your smallest balance, so avalanche and snowball agree here.
- Keep every other debt on its minimum and put every spare dollar on that one. When it clears, roll its payment onto the next — keep your total monthly payment flat.
- Don’t add new charges while you pay this down — a small buffer in checking keeps a surprise from going back on the card.
