HOW ZILCH WORKS
The secret to getting out of debt fast is using a payment strategy. The strategy you choose is based on what makes you feel good. This gives you immediate relief because you will stay in your comfort zone from day one.
The two most common payment strategies for getting out of debt are Avalanche and Snowball. Avalanche prioritizes paying off debts from the highest interest rate down to the lowest interest rate. Snowball prioritizes paying off debts by those which can go away the quickest. Choose the payoff strategy that makes you feel good.
| How I Feel | Strategy |
|---|---|
| I'm a numbers person. Numbers make sense to me. | Avalanche |
| I am not a numbers person. Numbers scare me. | Snowball |
| I want to save the most money no matter what. | Avalanche |
| I want to get out of debt as fast as possible. | Avalanche |
| I'm looking for fast results. I like to see progress. | Snowball |
| I need lots of encouragement along the way. | Snowball |
ZilchWorks takes all the information about your debts (balances, interest rates, monthly payments) and instantly turns it into a realistic payoff plan using the payoff strategy that you feel good about. You'll see exactly how much to pay each credit each month. This short video explains how the payment strategy works.
Step 1 - Make a List
Believe it or not, this is the hardest step. Why? Because it forces you to act. It makes you look at your debts. It requires you to acknowledge how much money you owe. This may be something you have wanted to do for a long time but kept putting off. We can only help you if you are willing to help yourself. There has never been a map produced that just takes you where you want to go. You must act. Until you make a decision to act, and follow the map, it's nothing more than lines on paper. Take that first step... print the worksheet and fill it out.

Important: When you write down your debts don't try and prioritize the pay off order. Our software will do this for you. Just concentrate on finding your debts and getting them listed on the worksheet.

❝I realized that with this tool I could be my own debt counselor!❞
I found myself in the predicament of high credit balances. I heard the ads on the radio and TV about debt counselors, and credit counseling companies. I did not feel safe, or comfortable about contacting these strangers and trusting them with all my information.

I did not have the time to go through their process and was suspicious of the true cost of their assistance. Then I found out about ZilchWorks, ordered it, installed it and realized that with this tool I could be my own debt counselor!
This program is so easy to use and does what all the other companies want to charge you for. I was able to work out my payment plan in the privacy of my home. ZilchWorks showed me exactly what to do to reduce my debt as quickly as possible. I am gaining back my financial freedom with ZilchWorks. Thank you Michael for creating this wonderful program.
