Meet Tim Tim: he lives in Orlando, makes $40,000 a year, and carries $10,000 in credit card debt. He brings home $1,310 every two weeks, with real expenses — rent, a car payment, insurance, utilities — and just $200 a pay period for food, gas, and fun. We build his whole plan in Sheetkeeper.io and watch the credit card balance fall to zero, to the exact date.

We find his exact debt-free date — and build him a $1,000 emergency fund at the same time (extra cash in checking spills into savings, and once savings is capped, the overflow attacks the debt). Then we look at what the whole plan does to his net worth over five years.

Then the real lever: income. We give Tim Tim a raise from $40K to $50K without changing a single thing in his budget — and watch what it does to the payoff date.

If you've got credit card debt on a modest income and want a realistic payoff plan, this one's for you. Grab the free spreadsheet template linked below to start your own model, and hop on the waitlist for the Sheetkeeper.io app we used in the video.
