Snag Our Simplified Budget System!
Budget besties, let’s talk about that “smart” 0% interest loan you’ve been holding onto. We hear it all the time: “Why pay it off? It’s not costing me anything!” But here’s the truth — just because you’re not paying interest doesn’t mean that loan isn’t costing you big in other ways.
In this episode, we break down why paying off zero-interest loans can actually create more freedom in your budget and your life. We cover:
The hidden cost of zero-interest loans (hint: it’s about more than interest)
How paying them off gives you money back in your monthly budget
Why fewer loans = a simpler, less stressful financial life
How opportunity cost can keep you stuck (when you could be building savings instead!)
A mindset shift that will help you stop “always having a car payment”
A just-for-fun (but eye-opening!) exercise: what your budget would look like if you lost your job tomorrow
If you’ve been ignoring that 0% loan because it feels harmless, this conversation will give you a whole new perspective — and maybe even the motivation to finally pay it off.
