In this section, the founder and CEO of Clever Girl Finance introduces eight personal finance questions that can help you plan and create a secure financial future. The first question is about where you see yourself financially in the next five years, which should be broken down into smaller chunks to create a plan. The second question is how you would cope if you lost your job, while the third is about what you would do in an emergency. Creating a workable budget is the fourth question, and it's important to find the budgeting method that works best for you. Knowing the interest rates on your debt is the fifth question, and it's essential to pay off high-interest debt quickly. The following questions are about saving for retirement, investments, and financial education.
In this section, the speaker discusses the importance of having a debt repayment plan and how to create one. By understanding the interest rates on your debts, you can prioritize them and create a strategy to save money on interest payments. You can choose between the snowball method, where you prioritize debts by smallest to highest balance and focus on paying off the smallest balance first, or the avalanche method, where you prioritize the debt that's costing you the most, the debt that has the highest interest rates. Consistency is key to leveraging both approaches and paying off debt as soon as possible. Additionally, the speaker talks about how to realistically increase your income and make improvements to your credit rating, including avoiding opening unnecessary lines of credit, avoiding inquiries on your credit, and paying bills on time.
In this section, the speaker concludes the video by thanking the audience and promoting the Clever Girl Finance website, which offers an array of resources such as worksheets and podcasts to help individuals become smarter about personal finance.
