## Run the payoff date

Enter balance, APR, and your real monthly payment into Credit card payoff. If the payoff year is further than a car loan, treat it like a fire. Compare a fixed personal loan only after fees: Personal loan vs continuing the card.

## Stop the bleed

New charges on a balance that already accrues interest are expensive entertainment. Freeze discretionary spend until the balance trends down three months in a row. Rebuild Emergency fund in parallel only at a tiny rate if interest is crushing you.
