The "Interest Trap" Explained

Banks divide your APR by 365 to calculate a Daily Periodic Rate. This rate is applied to your balance every single day. If you only pay the minimum, most of your money goes toward these daily fees rather than reducing your actual debt.

Why Fixed Payments Work

Unlike minimum payments that decrease as your balance drops, a Fixed Monthly Payment forces more money toward the "Principal" (your original debt) over time. This accelerates your payoff speed exponentially.
