I do this snowflaking with my student loans. Every “extra” $20 that I find or compile goes directly to the student loans. It reduces the average daily balance which in return reduces the finance charge that is accrued on a monthly basis. I think sometimes we forget that even the smallest payment adds up over time.

Thanks so much for the taking the time to post this information. With the economy the way it is right now with all the layoffs and more to come; government spending and deficit out of control; the continued housing slump; one wonders where to turn for help.

@ Nate

If you receive a fortnightly pay packet and have monthly expenses, there will be some months where money allocated for certain expenses doesn’t need to be allocated. (26 pay packets in a calendar year equals 13 months)

I know this works because we used it to pay off our car loan early. Any snowflakes money we received (including last year’s rebate check) was sent to pay off the debt. It’s amazing how quickly the debt went down. This is great information NCN!

Love your blog! I believe you have an incorrect word. I think you meant logging vs longing… Blessings, GW

Provides A Much Needed Emotional Boost -

Let’s face it, debt reduction can be a long, arduous process. For me, I needed the psychological rush that came from “longing” into my credit card account, and noting that my balance had decreased.

Thanks for explaining this so clearly – I do this and it really helps me. Used in conjunction with a big flashy chart on my refrigerator, the multiple payments has helped me to achieve several financial goals.

If only I could figure out how to apply it to weight loss.

I do this with credit cards. Online payments are easy and I throw any “spare” money I come across at that debt. It’s amazing how quickly it adds up.
