Simple Example:
- Home Value: $350,000
Mortgage Balance: $150,000
- Investments: $100,000
Credit Cards: $20,000
- Auto: $45,000
Auto Loans: $30,000

Two Ways to Increase Net Worth:
You can either increase your assets or reduce your debt. This article focuses on debt reduction as the quickest way to free up funds and eventually increase ownership of assets.
Focus on Reducing Debt:
In our scenario, the debt totals $204,000. Many overlook mortgages and car loans as necessary expenses, but credit cards can charge high interest, often between 12% to 18%, while bank loans might be around 6%.
Financial Challenge:
Consider which is quicker: acquiring $204,000 in assets, or eliminating $204,000 of debt? While both raise your net worth by the same amount, reducing debt is often faster.
To accumulate $204,000 in 15 years, you’d need to invest $6,956.69 annually at an 8% guaranteed return, a difficult find in today’s market. On the other hand, reducing $204,000 in debt in 13.5 years requires just an extra $100 monthly payment.
Key Insight:
By investing nearly $7,000 each year for 15 years, you hope to earn at least an 8% return. Alternatively, simply adding $100 monthly to your debt payments can eliminate your total debt in 13.5 years ?" a guaranteed gain!
Action Plan:
Check this strategy for yourself. Use a compound interest table for the investment calculations, and access a [debt reduction chart](http://personal-finance-on-the-net.com/support-files/debtchart.pdf). To view the chart, you’ll need Adobe Reader, available for free from adobe.com.
Conclusion:
Reducing liabilities is consistently faster and more reliable than increasing assets, due to high interest rates on debts compared to potential earnings. By adhering to a plan and adding $100 to your monthly payments, you can accelerate the payoff process and significantly boost your net worth.
Raising an extra $100 monthly is much simpler than finding nearly $7,000 annually for 15 years. Take charge of your financial future today!
