DEBT & INTEREST STRATEGY

Make payment timing work in your favor.

Use this education for credit cards, personal loans, auto loans and other eligible debts. Always confirm how your lender processes payments.

MONTHLY EXAMPLE$500 once monthly
→
PAY-SCHEDULE APPROACH$250 every two weeks

Splitting a payment may align better with paydays and can reduce the balance sooner when the lender applies partial payments promptly. Confirm how the lender handles partial, principal-only and early payments before using this strategy.

Important: Paying every two weeks does not automatically reduce interest or create an extra payment. The benefit depends on the payment amount, timing and how the lender applies it.

RETIREMENT & COMPOUND GROWTH

Give your money more time to grow.

Starting early can matter more than starting big. A Roth IRA can provide a tax-advantaged place for long-term retirement investing, while compounding allows growth to build on earlier growth.

Roth IRA basics

  • You contribute money that has already been taxed.
  • Qualified withdrawals in retirement are tax-free.
  • You generally need earned income to contribute.
  • For 2026, someone under age 50 may contribute up to the lesser of earned income or $7,500; income eligibility rules can reduce or eliminate the amount.
  • Opening the account is only step one—choose investments that fit your goals, time horizon and risk comfort.

How compound growth works

Compounding means earning a return on both your original money and prior growth.

  • Principal: the money you start with or add.
  • Return: the gain or loss on the investment.
  • Time: how long the money remains invested.
A simple hypothetical example: $100 earning 5% becomes $105 after one year. If it earns 5% again, it becomes $110.25—the extra 25 cents came from growth on the first year's growth. Actual investment returns are not guaranteed.
Know what you own: A Roth IRA is an account, not an investment. Cash left uninvested may not produce the long-term growth you expect, and investments can lose value. Tax rules and personal eligibility can change, so confirm current requirements before contributing.
