Smart debt management for a secure retirement.
Eleanor Blackwell, a 68-year-old widow, inherited a $1.8 million Traditional IRA and $450,000 in taxable accounts. However, she also carried a $75,000 home equity loan at 7.5% interest and $15,000 in credit card debt at an average of 18% interest. Her current monthly payments were significantly impacting her cash flow and ability to enjoy her retirement.
Using Golden Door Asset's Debt Calculator, we analyzed Eleanor's debt profile and explored refinancing options. We identified an opportunity to consolidate her debts into a new personal loan at 9% interest. This lowered her combined monthly payments by $450 and significantly reduced her overall interest expense.
We used the Debt Calculator to input Eleanor's current debt amounts, interest rates, and loan terms. We then experimented with different refinancing scenarios to identify the most advantageous option for debt consolidation. The Refinance calculator confirmed our findings.
$35,000 in interest savings over the life of the loan, plus increased monthly cash flow for Eleanor's retirement enjoyment.
