Template

Construct a payoff plan for the debts listed in {debt_list} with monthly surplus of {monthly_surplus}. Reason through: (1) Tabulate each debt: balance, rate, minimum payment, and any special features — promotional rates expiring, tax deductibility, prepayment penalties. (2) Verify the surplus is real: minimums plus essential expenses must fit income with a small buffer, or the plan fails at the first irregular expense. (3) Compute the avalanche ordering (highest rate first) and its total interest and payoff date. (4) Compute the snowball ordering (smallest balance first) and the same figures — the interest difference between methods is often smaller than assumed; state it precisely. (5) Handle special cases before either ordering: debts in delinquency, promotional rates about to expire, and anything secured by essential property get priority attention. (6) Recommend an ordering, present the month-by-month sequence for the first year, and state the payoff date. Behavioral sustainability matters as much as arithmetic; say so if snowball's difference is trivial.
