A Madison Method Instrument

The Blended Rate Engine.

Your mortgage rate is one number. Your true cost of borrowing is another — weighted across every dollar you owe. This instrument reveals the gap, shows you where the cost lives, and maps the path out.

§ 02

Here's how your debt disappears.

Month by month, debt by debt. No new loans, no restructuring — just the same money you're already spending, applied in a smarter order.

Right now you're making minimum payments on everything. Watch what happens if you keep making the exact same total monthly payment — but quietly direct the extra dollars toward your highest-rate debt first. Each time a debt is paid off, that freed-up payment rolls into the next one. This method is called the debt avalanche, and it's the fastest mathematically legal way out of consumer debt.

Your Payoff Order
Your Four Options

The avalanche above is one path — the just pay it down path. There are three others. Each handles the same debt differently, with different trade-offs.

Path A
Pay It Down
No new loans. Reorder your payments using the debt avalanche — highest rate first. The money you free from each eliminated debt attacks the next one.
Consumer debt free
Interest saved vs minimums
Path B
Restructure
Consolidate consumer debt into a single lower-rate instrument. One payment, predictable timeline. Mortgage stays untouched.
Consolidated rate needed
Monthly freed if rate halved
Consolidating debt may extend your repayment period and result in higher total interest paid over time, even if your monthly payment decreases.
Path C
Use Your Equity
Access home equity to eliminate high-rate consumer debt. Converts unsecured debt to secured — requires careful analysis of trade-offs.
Equity available (est.)
Consumer debt clearable
Your home is used as collateral. HELOC rates may increase over time, and repayment obligations can change materially.
