A debt-payoff simulation

Can You Get Out of Debt?

You take home $4,200 a month and owe about $22,000 across six debts: two credit cards, an overdraft, buy-now-pay-later plans, a car loan and $3,000 from your uncle. Pick which debt to attack first, decide how big a safety net to keep, and deal with the offers, surprises and family dinners along the way. The math matters. Sticking with it matters more.

How it plays

  1. Month 1 · The list — Make your payoff plan
  2. Month 2 · Offers in the mail — Handle the offers
  3. Month 3 · The motivation check — Keep it going
  4. Month 4 · Family and windfalls — Money and people

After the debrief, “Keep going — to month 18” continues the run with calendar events, new challenges and opportunities that build on what you chose earlier. Every decision page has a live preview that shows what your picks do to the numbers before you lock them in.

What you get at the end

A debrief with your outcome, charts of where the money went, your biggest mistake and roughly what it cost, and a full report you can copy or save as a PDF. Everything runs in your browser: no sign-up, nothing to install.
