    I think one key item not mentioned is that once your cards are maxed or above 33% utilization your FICO score will drop most likely below 700 into the 600’s. At this point NO bank will give you a loan to consolidate your cards, and be left with the consolidated loan. The bank/peer to peer lender/etc. cannot force you to pay your credit cards and close them, thereby only having one loan to pay. As a result the banks will not give the consolidation loan! Also if you try to refinance your own home, but your score is low because of the credit cards, then the bank will NOT let you cash out refi because the FICO is lower than 700’s everyone in the banks expects. So you can see the desperation the person in debt has! No way out, unless you can sell your house or can get a 2nd job that pays well enough to allow you to get ahead and not burn out because you are working and barely sleeping!

    For those of us who have been responsible with money, we only have mortgage debt. And yes, putting cashflow directly into the mortgage is the fastest way to pay it off. VB is for people who need debt consolidation as a second chance to correct their bad spending habits.

    Mortgage payment is favoured for another reason for shorter term mortgages like 10 years. In 10 years there is a big big chance the s and p will be leas than 10%. It might be negative or slightly positive. If your mortgage is long term, then investing probably makes sense. But paying mortgage down faster just seems so much safer

  • @cspringer333

    I think you forgot something on the PLOC. You no longer have a car loan of $286 (but a PLOC) which will add to your cashflow of $1619 now making the cashflow $1905. The car loan is paid in full and gone. Your "All Cash Flow" on the PLOC will make it better than an extra payment. I went out 4 months on the "real" PLOC cashflow and even using your higher interest balances and got: Month 1 $10589 vs $10870 Month 2 $ 8784 vs $9344 Month 3 $ 6965 vs $7805 Month 4 $ 5132 vs $6275. That's a difference of $1143! It would actually be a little lower because I used your interest numbers. $286 additional cashflow X 8 months is $2288 difference (not -$352). The power of using a LOC vs a loan. Especially an amortized mortgage. EDIT: I went to six months and it came to a balance of $1410 leaving less than a month to pay it off. You actually are paying it off in 6+ months.

    Everyone buying a home should see this. I’ve known this strategy for over 15 years and I’m shocked by the number of people who just pay their monthly payment. Another money saving tip; pay off your credit card balance(s) every month, and don’t buy anything with a credit card that you can’t afford to pay cash for at the time of purchase. Third; contribute to a 401(k) every paycheck, even if it’s only a small amount. You’ll be amazed at how much you can save over 30 or 40 years with compounding interest. So many young people starting a new job after college don’t understand this. I have saved so much money with these simple rules.

  • @markmccracken2502
    @markmccracken2502 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I'm sorry but you don't seem to understand how velocity banking works, at least not the way Christy Vann teaches it. In the first example, the goal of using the cc initially isn't to necessarily pay off the card but free up money (cash flow) by basically eliminating that payment. Yes, you still have to pay the interest which may be anywhere from $80-200+ but you'll skip the full payment. So, instead of a $400 payment like I had with one of mine, you can knock it down to $100 payment, thereby freeing up $300. The goal is to increase cf and using the extra cf to pay things down. Plus, in your example, you're right, it would be minimal gain but most people have several years left on their debts and thus this would not help much. In the HELOC example, it seems you don't understand how amortized payments work. Yes, technically the mortgage is 5% but that's not the true rate; it's more like close to 100 which means you're paying for almost another house in interest alone. By making large chunk payments you move further ahead on the schedule, thereby eliminating a lot of the interest. The point is to create cf by paying off debts, and then you create more cf as you go, increasing the "velocity" of the payoffs. Again, dumping your check into the HELOC satisfies your monthly payment, minus the interest, which is nominal. I started vb in November and we've paid off two cc's, back taxes, and a collections we had, freeing up about $700 a month. I also pay some bills through another low interest cc, freeing up another $250.

    The issue is that either the renter or the owner must in some way pay insurance and property taxes if they want a "permanent roof" with utilities like electricity, gas and water. Because of this, many people-at least in California, where I currently reside-are living in tents. No taxes, rent, mortgages, or insurance. The number of people who tell me they live in their car that I meet amazes me. Its crazy out here!

    Ooff 3 things here- 1. You didn't even mention debt that the example person may have. 2. You didn't mention the very popular 0%APR that most who utilize velocity are focusing on (Because of the debt) 3. Most people are broke because they don't know how to plan financially. Regardless of whether any method saves or costs money, it helps to teach the individual HOW to prioritize spending which is generally not something that immediately correlates with age or any other factor. I don't have debt and I have never used an velocity method, but I see the advantage of people who have crippled themselves financially having a hand to hold onto.
