Snowball calculator

Hi everyone

Been scouring the internet to find a debt snowball calculator (not too complicated - must be user friendly) for my newly divorced friend who has no idea how to tackle her half of the financial mess left at the end of her marriage.

Any one got a link to one I can use? I had one ages ago but I must have deleted it. I want one that shows her the cost of paying minimums only against the benefits of snowballing her debts. She needs convincing before she gets in a worse mess than she is in already.

TIA, Stella

Thanks DFC, I had a look at that one but I can't get it to work (macros not enabled????) and my friend would die if I sent her the link for that!

I did a search and found this one ~

http://www.bankrate.com/brm/calc/MinPayment.asp

~ and can show her that unless she shapes up, it will take her 202 months to pay her CC's off is she does min payments only and she will be nearly 70 by then!!! Not a nice prospect, eh?

Hi

That "What's the cost" calculator is great, I've plugged all her figures in and done some print outs for her. Hope she can see what I can see.

Thanks.
