## Description

Figuring out how to pay off a mountain of debt usually feels like staring at a wall. You have multiple loans, different interest rates, and a limited amount of extra cash each month. It's hard to know which move actually gets you to the finish line faster or provides that win you need to keep going. This Connector changes that by doing the heavy lifting for you. You just feed it your numbers, and it builds a clear, logical roadmap. It handles the math of interest accrual and automatically rolls over every extra dollar you can spare into your next target. Instead of guessing, you get a concrete plan that shows you exactly when each debt will vanish. It's designed to help you build psychological momentum by knocking out those small balances first, which makes the bigger ones feel much more manageable. When you connect this to the Vinkius catalog, you get a reliable way to stress-test different payment amounts and see how they impact your long-term savings. You stop wondering what if and start seeing a real date for your financial freedom.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I have a credit card with $500 at 20% APR (min $25) and a personal loan of $2000 at 10% APR (min $50). I can pay an extra $100 per month. Show me the plan.
```

**Response:** 
```
### Debt Repayment Plan
Based on the Debt Snowball method, here is your path to being debt-free:

| Month | Store Card | Personal Loan | Total Paid |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| 1 | $375.00 | $50.00 | $425.00 |
| 2 | $250.00 | $50.00 | $425.00 |
| 3 | **$0.00** | $50.00 | $425.00 |

**Next Step:** Since your Store Card is paid off, your extra $100 rolls over to the Personal Loan. Your new monthly payment for that loan will be **$150.00**.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much extra monthly payment do I need to pay off my $1200 medical bill (15% APR, $40 min) in 6 months?
```

**Response:** 
```
To clear your $1,200 medical bill in exactly 6 months, here is the breakdown:

*   **Target Monthly Payment:** $210.00
*   **Current Minimum:** $40.00
*   **Additional Amount Needed:** **$170.00**

By applying an extra $170.00 per month, you will extinguish this debt in 6 months and save on interest compared to making only minimum payments.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Show me a repayment plan for: [{'name': 'Store Card', 'balance': 300, 'apr': 25, 'minPayment': 20}, {'name': 'Car Loan', 'balance': 5000, 'apr': 5, 'minPayment': 250}] with $100 extra monthly.
```

**Response:** 
```
