How does debt stacking
work?
The debt stacking principle is simple; when one debt is paid off you take the money that was
going to that debt’s payment and apply it to the next debt.
Let’s say that you have a credit card that you just paid off and the monthly
payment was 50.00. The next debt that you wish to payoff is a car payment, which has a monthly payment of
300.00. You would take the 50.00 that was going to the credit card and add it to the car payment, so this
month you would send a payment of 350.00. Now when the car is paid off you may want to payoff the mortgage so
you would take the 350.00 that was going to the car payment and add it to the mortgage payment. Let say that
the mortgage payment is 750.00 add the 350.00 to it. So you send in a payment of 1100.00 to the mortgage
company. Remember you are paying no more then you started with. This is called Debt Stacking.
Credit card 50.00
Car 300.00
Mortgage 750.00
Total 1100.00
To see what the possible saving could be using this method with real debts consider the
following two scenarios, first paying off debts the normal way, second stacking the debts. Debt stacking will
eliminate all debts in less then half the time.
