      Yes it is easier to understand. It’s easier to see how she is scamming people. Applying he $2000 to the mortgage directly each month instead of this line of credit in such a dumb way, the mortgage would be paid about 6 months sooner and with over $11000 less interest. The interest numbers she is showing is a 30 year payment plan with no extra payments vs a payment plan with extra payments. Although she is excluding the interest on the mortgage while she is paying off chunks with the line of credit when she shows her line of credit interest number. Her plan actually costs over $50k.

    You are explaning the strategy as clearly as humanly possible. Great work. Some viewers might need more then one view to get the hang of it. With the strategy you explained I also use a cash back credit card for living expenses that get paid in full in the line of credit at the end of each month. I'm able to knock off another 100$ of the mortgage principale every 3 months with the cash back.
    Awesome job by the way and great math too.

      @confusedzentradi 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ken Jones It’s genius to borrow money from a credit card at 21% interest to pay down a 6% interest loan? I must not know what the word genius means. And don’t argue back about 21% simple interest vs 6% “amortized interest”. The credit card and mortgage both charge compound interest. She is incorrectly using the term simple interest. Search the Internet for definitions of Simple Interest, Compound Interest and Amortization. Then read the terms of agreement of any standard credit card to verify they charge compound interest. Have a nice day. ^_^

    • @richardking4514
      @richardking4514 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Realistically for this example it would be worth it to open a Personal Line of Credit (LoC) in the first month to knock down interest to around 10%. A HELOC would have even better rates so I agree that it should be used as soon as your home has enough equity to qualify for one.

  • @bettingonadeadhorse
    @bettingonadeadhorse 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Thanks for the clarification. I still think that my point that I commented on the other video is valid though. In your example, you pay about $750 in interest on the credit card to pay down that 12k. If you just pay the 2k a month to the mortgage directly as you get it you will pay an extra $210 over the 6 months in interest on the mortgage, but you don't accrue any of the $750 extra on the credit card. I do love that your video is encouraging people to pay down their debt and mortgages so keep up the good work in making videos to educate and inspire! I just think that the strategy can be tweaked a little to make it more effective and simpler really!

    • @mor6469
      @mor6469 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Excellent presentation of this concept. I would assume that during the six year period the Auto and Credit card payments would disappear. At that point you have additional funds available to increase your 6 month payment to further decrease the interest in the Mortgage loan.

    • @ondfritz2
      @ondfritz2 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      To pay off 12K at 21% APR in 6 months would take monthly payments of $2,124 + 1,200LE + $1,200HM + $600 Car = $5,124. This was calculated on a TI BAII Plus Professional advanced business analyst calculator and on several online payoff calculators. If you paid the $600 minimum per month that is for some reason written on the white board it would take 24.83 months to pay off the 12K balance @21% interest and $2899 in interest over that time.

    • @andyvandalsem3048
      @andyvandalsem3048 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @ ondfritz2 What she's saying is that every month you dump your ENTIRE paycheck ($5,000) back in to the card. The $600 was just there to show you what your previous minimum monthly credit card payment used to be before using this strategy. She actually crosses the $600 card payment off the board at the 1:25 time mark.

    • @ondfritz2
      @ondfritz2 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you put everything on the card now you are adding $3000 per month onto a 21% interest payment, you are literally paying someone 21% interest to use your own money. Now you have only compounded the problem and will incur even more interest. If you pay off that credit card in the beginning and put all $2000 saved per month onto the mortgage each month you would pay it off faster and with less interest than this nonsense. Also, I hope people look and realize you are not real, you set up a fake account to convince people this is real. There is a reason the ads before this video are a scam, because this is a scam.

    Great videos and even better teachings. Thanks for those. I have a HELOC. Interest rate is 4.2%. Is the interest on that calculated the same as a credit card? Do you think the bank will agree to me using the HELOC as my overdraft on my checking account? Thanks
    Denis

    • @EOO-Stand
      @EOO-Stand 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      you are even in a better situation with the lower rate as you will save on the 194K and pay way less on the HELOC balance (21% vs 4.2%). and i believe you could withdraw in cash or check form the amount you need and use it to apply towards principal. the HELOC would not be restricted on how you spend it as long as you pay it back.

    • @laurapitko6404
      @laurapitko6404  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello Denis, yes the equation I gave is a line of credit interest equation you can use to estimate the interest on your Heloc. With a Heloc you should have the ability to transfer money into your checking account then use that money to pay bills as needed then what ever is left over of that money put it back onto your heloc, then when you get paid move all of your money into your heloc and then move the necessary funds for all bills expenses into your checking with the Heloc it is about the movement of money.

    so I worked mine and I started in march but doing a $5000 credit card which will be paid off if 3 months in the end it does not come out to $5000 because at the end when I pay the balance off of the credit card my mortgage is still due in the 1st of the month so I have to borrow from the money but I am slowly figuring it out. plus I did not have enough things to pay with the credit card so I have to take cash out but I take it at the end of the month so that the bulk payment pays the cash off first because that's how my bank works did my research so far so good lets see how it goes in a couple months .it took me a few weeks to write everything down and work our pay checks around so far so good :)

      You can link your credit card as overdraft protection to your checking account that way you will be able to make loan payments electronically as if it is coming from your checking account, but the money will be taken out of credit card, also if you are using a personal line of credit or a Heloc account which is a home equity line of credit than you will get a lower interest rate and a higher limit, as far as your monthly minimum mortgage payments, yes you still need to make those every single month therefore you have to calculate that payment into your monthly expenses like I included that into the $3K expenses in my example I used in my video.

      I had the same problem the only bills that would accept credit card were my phone, light , gas, gas for cars , groceries, and cable so I had used $950 of stuff then will have to take out cash $1050 but what I do is a strategize so I take that money out before the month is over because my bank pays cash advances before purchases so at the end of the month I take out $1050 and in a few days I pay the $3000 monthly so I am only getting charged %17 for like 2 or 3 days and my purchases don't start growing interest till 30 days so I don't really get hit with a lot of interest so far. its the initial $5000 you will pay a lot unless you find purchases my family were going to make some purchases so I paid with my credit card and got the cash from them and that's how I started my first one still on my first month and working so far good luck

      You can also get a personal loan for the amount that you need. It will cost you more than a HELOC or Personal Lines of Credit but will be less than a cash advance from a credit card. But, you have to open an account that will only be used for this strategy and use that new account to act like a line of credit.

    This is the fourth person I have seen on TH-cam using these exact numbers To Laura's credit, she is the only one to try to breakdown the 21% interest costs, even if she does it wrong. Everyone can agree that if you pay extra toward the principal of your mortgage, you will pay it off much faster, due to how compound interest works. Also, the MORE you pay and the EARLIER, the faster you pay down, the less interest you pay in total and the less total dollars you pay.
    The big flaw in this method is borrowing at 21% to pay off a 6% mortgage. To calculate the interest on a 21% credit card, you can do this: 21% / 365 to get 0.0575% daily on the NEW BALANCE. New balance means outstanding balance + interest cost, meaning they are charging interest on the interest. On day 1, you borrow $12,000 and get charged 0.0575% interest, which is $6.90. Your new balance on Day 2 is $12,006.90. Interest of 0.0575% on $12,006.90 is now $6.91 and your new balance is $12,013.81. See how interest increased by $.01? That's the extra interest on top of the first interest.
    Her calculation of $214.02 for 31 days of interest on $12,000 at 21% is simply wrong. The correct amount is $215.88. Not a huge difference, but the credit card company wants its money and get that money it will. Also, when paying down the 21% credit card she keeps saying you pay it down by $2,000 per month. She is ignoring even her own interest calculation of $241.02....when does that money get paid?
    To summarize, I ran the numbers in Excel. I can provide that file to anyone here. You will end up paying $780.60 in interest every 6 months on that $12,000 borrowed at 21%. This is $1,561.20. It will take 72 months or 6 years to pay off the loan. That's $1,561.20 * 6 = $9,367.20 of credit card interest. So you have to add that to your total payments at the end of the loan. In stead of saving $194,314.29 you are saving that amount LESS $9,367.20 which is $184,947.09. A great amount,but below I will show how you can save even more....by not paying 21% interest (and actually her calculations are off, so her savings amount is about $1,4000 higher than it should be. Calculations shown below are based on my numbers in Excel).
    Now, if instead of borrowing at 21%, you simply paid an extra $2,000 toward the principal each month, you save an extra $7,102.86 over borrowing on the credit card. That's because you didn't need to pay that 21% interest rate. Total saved $191,260.55
    Even better, if you add the amount you would have paid in interest on top, an extra $215.88 the first month (total extra of $2,215.88), $177.80 the second month, $146.09 the third month and so forth, save an extra $9,131.56 overall by skipping the credit card loans. Total saved $193,289.25.
    Now, ladies, gents, content creators....don't believe me? No problem....look up the fee disclosures on any standard credit card where they will explain how interest is calculated. You will see her formula is not correct and mine is (some divide by 365 days, others by 360 days). I have the spreadsheet. I got so annoyed seeing this nonsense on so many channels I finally sat down and did a detailed spreadsheet including the interest. Welcome to share with anyone who wants it. ^_^

    I saw a post where some people are worried about losing their tax rebate from their home loan after the home is paid off, but then you can just possibly re-mortgage on the equity or get a second property. If you re-mortgage, that money can then be used to invest into a business, and you can do the same 6-year payoff schedule to the mortgage.

What can i do from home that will increase my income by about 500 to 1000 a month? I am interested in stocks, real estate, things like that. So that i can still be around my family. Also, what job could i possible do outside of the home that will allow me to bring my 2 kids, ages 4 yrs old and 18 months? Also, i have no retirement saved, any tips to grow my retirement as fast as possible to a reasonable amount to live off of with just basic bills and hardly any debt?

      It automatically gets paid as every month the entire net income gets added towards the credit card, so the interest for every month is different and since we are paying more than the minimum monthly credit card payment that interest for that month gets taken care of.

    Hi Laura, a quick question. I currently have a student loan that is locked in without an option for early repayment. Thus i am instead putting this line of credit into an investment product that is giving me a higher interest than what the bank charges on my student loan. I can't do a partial repayment until i have the full loan amount for repayment.
    On that note, may I ask if it is wise to take up another loan that gives me an option for early repayment and use that money to pay off the existing loan or do continue to do what i am doing now? Line of credit does not provide me sufficient money to pay off full loan amount.

      To pay off 12K at 21% APR in 6 months would take monthly payments of $2,124 + 1,200LE + $1,200HM + $600 Car = $5,124. This was calculated on a TI BAII Plus Professional advanced business analyst calculator and on several online payoff calculators. If you paid the $600 minimum per month that is for some reason written on the white board it would take 24.83 months to pay off the 12K balance @21% interest and $2899 in interest over that time.

    • @laurapitko6404
      @laurapitko6404  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello, the strategy suggests using your line of credit as your checking account, you will still maintain your regular checking account just you will move your entire net monthly income towards your line of credit, now a line of credit is either a credit card, a personal line of credit, or a home equity line of credit, you choose which ever fits your financial situation. Now when you have your line of credit in place and you have your budget and you know your cash flow, then you can determine your chunk amount which you will use to make a principal only payment towards your car loan this money is coming from the line of credit and yes it is good to call and check that the payment, the additional large chunk go applied as a principal reduction payment.

I use Carl’s Calc as you showed us as well. My interest rate is not the best but much better than the 21% you were using in your example so it should work out fine. I’ll keep you posted.

    I was asked to watch your video because people who watched my response video to your other video thought I didn't understand how 21%was better than 6%interest. So let me point this out: if you were to simply make 2k/month additional principle payments toward your 6% loan, you'd pay it off even sooner and you'd save even more in interest than what you're teaching. Thank you for pointing out the process, because even though your process isn't the most efficient way to pay off a home, it's still faster than just saving your money each month while just making the minimum payments.

      You generally can't pay a home loan with at credit card. This is the reason for the LOC or HELOC. There are some services that allow you to pay on a bank loan with a credit card but there are usually 2-3% transaction charges for this which can also get costly. It is best to get a LOC. You lose the advantage of the credit card points but the points technically calculated are worth fractions of a penny when used.

    If someone had no debts would it be a great idea to use the strategy to be able to contribute maximum contributions each year in your IRA or Roth IRA (RRSP and TFSA in Canada)You could borrow in the line of credit at the end of the year just before tax seasons ends. You would get the tax deductions a month later after filling you income tax and could use that to repay the loan made on the line of credit even quicker.

    • @EOO-Stand
      @EOO-Stand 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @laurapitko6404
      @laurapitko6404  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi John, yes you can do $20K at a time but keep in mind not to max out your line of credit account and leave some buffer, in my example I am using a really expensive line of credit account a credit card that charges 21% in interest to show that you can virtually use a line of credit most people already have available, but I would say if you get a little more sophisticated look into a home equity line of credit or a personal line of credit and most importantly calculated all the numbers and create your plan maybe discussing with a competent financial professional as everyones financial situation is different to see what will work best for you.

    Hi Laura~How do I apply for HELOC? Can you please reply to this message or make a video? Thank you so much for this information!

      Sharifa Muhammad. Go to your bank and ask for HELOC. They will give you all the information you needed. But lost banks requires a minimum of 680 credit score.

      Yes, ask about it at your bank, depending on your situation you may get one or not, if not then ask about a personal line of credit.

    Laura, the client would still continue need to pay their monthly mortgage in additional to the lump-sum $12k payments

      Yes, correct the monthly mortgage payment is included in the total expenses which added up to $3K in the example.
