Usage and Purpose: The Smart Way to Attack Debt
The **AI Debt Freedom Scorecard** solves a fundamental problem: most people only track the *amount* of debt, not its true cost or emotional toll. It provides a unique lens by factoring in the **psychological stress** (the `debt-type` input) associated with each loan. High-interest, revolving credit card debt carries a heavier mental weight than a low-interest student loan, and both impact your motivation. This **viral-ready** tool gives you a clear, prioritized action plan. It not only tells you which debt to pay off first (the mathematical **Avalanche** method) but also provides a **Psychological Payoff Priority** to choose the method that ensures you stick to the plan. Use it to finally take control of your **Financial Stress Score** and achieve true freedom.

Understanding the Dynamic KPIs
The Scorecard generates three unique and actionable KPIs that transform debt management from a chore into a focused mission:
1. Annual Interest Loss ($): This is the total dollar amount you will pay this year just in interest across all listed debts. It’s the money literally being burned. A high figure here is a powerful motivator to prioritize high-rate debts.
2. Total Freedom Score (TFS): A proprietary metric on a 0-100 scale. It’s calculated based on the ratio of your total debt to your annual income, adjusted by the weighted average interest rate.
- **TFS 0-30 (Critical):** Aggressive action is needed.
- **TFS 31-60 (Moderate):** Focus heavily on eliminating high-interest debt.
- **TFS 61-100 (Good to Excellent):** Debt is manageable; focus on acceleration.
3. Psychological Payoff Priority: This is the core recommendation. It compares the total interest savings (Avalanche) versus the psychological benefit of quick wins (Snowball). It advises the strategy most likely to keep *you* motivated and on track.
FAQ: Mastering Your Debt Freedom Scorecard
- Q: What is the difference between Snowball and Avalanche?
- A: The **Debt Avalanche** method targets the debt with the highest interest rate first, saving you the most money mathematically. The **Debt Snowball** targets the smallest balance first, giving you quick "wins" for psychological momentum. The tool helps you choose the right one for your personality.
- Q: Should I include my mortgage in the scorecard?
- A: If your mortgage is causing stress, include it! However, setting its "Debt Type" to **Low Stress** (0.1) is generally appropriate, as its interest rate is usually low compared to credit cards. The tool will then appropriately prioritize paying off unsecured, higher-rate debt first.
- Q: How accurate is the Total Freedom Score?
- A: The TFS provides an excellent snapshot of your financial health relative to your debt load. It's a key tool for tracking your progress month-to-month. As your debt balance drops, your score will rise, giving you a clear, positive feedback loop.
