Feeling overwhelmed by multiple balances, due dates, and interest rates?
A debt tracker can turn financial stress into a simple, effective plan. By organizing everything in one place, you gain clarity, control, and motivation to move forward.
What Is a Debt Tracker?
A debt tracker is a simple tool—like a spreadsheet, app, or printable chart—that lists all your debts in one place. It helps you see exactly what you owe, track your progress, and stay focused on your goals.
Why It Works
-
Creates a strategy: See balances, interest rates, and due dates clearly.
-
Boosts motivation: Watching balances shrink keeps you going.
-
Prevents missed payments: Keeps everything organized and on schedule.
How to Get Started
List each debt with:
-
Account name
-
Balance
-
Interest rate
-
Minimum payment
-
Due date
Update your tracker monthly to watch your progress and stay consistent.
Choose Your Payoff Strategy
-
Debt Snowball: Pay off the smallest balance first for quick wins and motivation.
-
Debt Avalanche: Tackle the highest interest rate first to save more money long term.
-
Hybrid Approach: Mix both—motivation first, savings next.
