Paying Off Debt

Question 1 • Personal Finance - EL3403

Which of the following is not something that should be considered when creating a debt payment plan?

Answer
A
In general, the larger the debt, the longer you should plan to take to pay it off.
B
Higher interest rates create more cost than lower interest rates on a similar debt.
C
Making a payment larger than required or expected will help pay off the debt sooner.
D
The longer you take to pay off your debt, the more you will be paying in interest and other fees.

Explanation

A debt payment plan should account for interest rates, the effect of paying more than the required amount, and the extra interest and fees that can build up over time. A larger debt does not automatically mean you should take longer to repay it; the repayment period should depend on what you can afford and the total cost of borrowing. Therefore, choice A is not a sound consideration as stated.
