Rule of 72 The rule of 72 says if you take the interest rate you are receiving and divide it into 72, it will give you the number of years it will take for your investment to double. Example, 72 divided by 4 (interest rate at a bank) = 18 years for your money to double. Another example, 72 ÷ 2 = 36 years.

Debt: the Good, Bad & Ugly House Loan (Mortgage) Auto Loan (Car or Truck) Personal Loan Credit Card

House Loan (Mortgage) Mortgages are usually good debt because equity in the house is built up over time. Only borrow what you can reasonably afford to pay back each month. The shorter the term (15yr vs. 30yr) the less interest you pay over time. Shop around for lowest interest rate.

Auto Loan Auto loans are considered not so good debt because the value of the car goes down over time. The shorter the term (36 mo vs. 60 mo) the less interest you pay over time. Shop around for lowest interest rate. Better to buy a used car or save up and pay cash for your vehicles.

Personal Loan Personal loans are considered bad debt because you pay interest with no return. Only borrow if it is a true emergency. Shop around for lowest interest rate. Pay back the loan ASAP. Better to create your own “emergency” fund and borrow from and repay yourself.

Credit Card Debt Credit Card debt is ugly debt because you pay enormously high interest rates. Interest rates can range from 0% - 30% Credit card debt is one of the leading causes of personal bankruptcy. Don’t carry balance over each month. Better to only charge what you can easily pay back each month.

Credit Card Debt How long to pay off credit card? $5,000 balance 10% interest rate $100 monthly payment Almost 5.5 years to pay off the debt. $1,495 of interest $5,000 principle $6,495 total money paid – Ugly!

Credit Card Debt How long to pay off credit card? $5,000 balance 20% interest rate $100 monthly payment Over 9 years to pay off the debt. $5,840 of interest $5,000 principle $10,840 total money paid – Uglier!
