Step 2: Track and Write down all monthly expenses and income
This exercise will enable you to know exactly how much money you need to
pay your monthly bills and expenses.
Make sure to include the household monthly income from all people who
help to pay the bills.
๏ Write down every bill - all monthly expenses (mortgage, auto, food,
gas, utilities, phones, insurances, etc.). Total all expenses.
๏ Write all combined monthly incomes (job1, job2, pensions, retirement
income, social security, etc.) Total all income.
Monthly Income โ Monthly Expenses = Debt to Income Ratio
Example: $6k monthly income - $5k expenses = $1k available cash
๏ By completing this exercise you will determine whether you have
available income or increasing monthly debt

After completing steps 1 and 2 the game planning starts!
You will have a better understanding of your finances and will
help to answer other questions that can come up. This part
of the Financial Analysis helps to guide you in the right
direction.
If you have more expenses than income each month:
๏ Learn a game plan to reduce your monthly deficit
๏ Know what you want before seeking out help from the banks
๏ Budgeting, how much can you really afford to pay
If you have more income than expenses each month:
๏ Work on additional ways to save money on your accounts
๏ Know what debt ratio you can comfortably afford
๏ Design a payoff timeline for your existing accounts

At this point you might be thinking ok, now Iโm ready to call my
bank for a better interest rate! If you did go ahead and call
the bank, you โmightโ get a lower interest rate! You may
also get declined for a lower APR!
But do you really know why you got a lower APR or did not get
what you are looking for? If you do get declined, what next?
In the eBook we have listed everything that the banks look for
when someone calls about lowering their interest rates. The
banks will not tell why you did or did not get a better APR.
Their computer will tell you โYESโ or โNOโ about lowering the
interest. The eBook explains all the details. With the
information provided, you will know who to call, what to do
and say to the bank representative.
