Velocity Banking Strategy

Key Concept

• Minimum Payments: Ineffective for reducing debt quickly, e.g., $10,000 debt at 18% interest can take 29 years to pay off with minimum payments.

Steps to Implement

1. Identify Target Card: Start with a maxed-out card with a $20,000 limit and balance.
2. Allocate Income:
   • Cover non-credit card expenses first (e.g., rent, utilities).
   • Funnel the rest into the target credit card.
3. Payment Timing:
   • Pay down credit card before the statement date.
   • Limit spending before reporting to credit bureaus.

Process

• Monthly Cash Flow Creation:
  • Paying the minimum monthly payment as part of the strategy creates $800 monthly cash flow.
  • Repeatedly transfer $2,800 (expenses) to the credit card to reduce balance.
• Progress Over Months:
  • Month 1: Reduce balance from $20,000 to $19,200.
  • Month 7: Balance reduced to $14,400.

Considerations

• Unexpected Expenses: Use available credit for emergencies but return to the plan ASAP.
• Credit Limit Risks: Inform credit card issuers about your repayment strategy to prevent limit reductions.

Long-term Plan

• Card Payoff Sequence: After paying off one card, redirect payments to the next card.
