Crush Your Debt with Just an Extra $50 a Month

Paying off debt can feel like a daunting task, and honestly, it kinda sucks. But we've got some great news! By sending an extra $50 towards your mortgage, auto loan, personal loan, or student loan each month, you'll be ahead of most people in your goals to be debt-free. And when you combine that strategy with the power of the Changed app, you'll be unstoppable. Here's how an extra $50 and the Changed app can help you achieve your financial goals.

Benefits of Sending an Extra $50 Toward Your Debt

Sending an extra $50 towards your debt each month may not seem like a lot, but it can have a big impact on your finances. Here are some of the benefits of sending an extra $50 each month:

• You'll save money on interest and reduce the amount of interest you pay over the life of the loan.
• You'll pay off your debts faster and be debt-free in no time.
• You'll free up more money in your budget for other financial goals.
• You'll improve your credit score by reducing your credit utilization ratio and proving to lenders that you're actively working to reduce your debt.
  

Here's an example of how sending an extra $50 toward your mortgage each month can make a significant impact:

Mortgages: Let's say you have a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage with an outstanding balance of $200,000 and an interest rate of 4%. If you add an extra $50 to your monthly payment, you could:

• Save over $14,900 in interest charges over the life of the loan.
• Pay off your mortgage more than three years earlier than the original term.
• Potentially increase your credit score, as paying off your mortgage faster can demonstrate responsible credit behavior to lenders.

The same principle applies to other types of debt, and Changed can help you create a plan to target the best debt to pay down first and help you automate payments to make sure you never miss a payment or incur late fees.
