Why is it important to pay off credit card debts as soon as possible according to the video?
-It is important to pay off credit card debts as soon as possible because making only minimum monthly payments can lead to a very long repayment period and a significant amount of interest paid over time, as illustrated with the $10,000 balance example taking 29 years to pay off.

What is the significance of paying down the credit card balance before the statement date?
-Paying down the credit card balance before the statement date helps to lower the reported credit utilization to the credit bureaus, which can positively affect the credit score.
How does the script suggest using the freed-up funds after paying off the first credit card?
-The script suggests not increasing the lifestyle or changing spending habits but instead taking the funds that were applied to the first card and applying them to the next card, thereby accelerating the debt reduction process.
What is the potential outcome of using the velocity banking method as described in the script?
-The potential outcome is a significant reduction in the time it takes to pay off credit card debts compared to making only minimum monthly payments, as well as an improvement in the credit score due to lower credit utilization.

-The video advises to continue using the credit card for unexpected expenses, knowing that the funds are available, and to stay disciplined and get back on track with the velocity banking process as soon as possible.

Transcripts
if you got a bunch of credit cards that
are maxed out or near maxed out and
you're scraping by every month and you
have no idea where you're going to get
the money to start knocking down these
debts this video is for
you a few weeks ago I released a video
on velocity banking teaching you how to
pay off your maxed out credit cards when
you had no cash follow up over each
month after expenses now to this date
that video has over 165,000 views so I
want to thank you guys for your support
now while there were over 350 comments
on that video a lot of the comments were
asking me questions about how to pay off
multiple credit cards using the same
system what don't worry as usual I got
you come on now when attempting to use
velocity banking to pay off multiple
maxed out credit cards instead of just
one all you need to do is make sure the
math is mathing the splits work almost
exactly the same way but for the
purposes of teaching you guys and
creating a visual for those of you who
can't just imagine it I'm going to go
ahead and run through a very similar
scenario to the one I ran through in the
other video so let's go now the model
we're going to use today is a person who
has $66,000 a monthly income but also
has exactly $6,000 of expenses every
single month leaving them completely
maxed out with absolutely no money left
over and cash flow after all bills have
been paid now to make this as realistic
a scenario as possible we're going to
use a person who has a rent SL morgage
as well as multiple credit cards that
are all maxed out with varying limits
now the initial credit card that we're
going to attack is going to have a
$20,000 balance with an $800 monthly
payment due every month this $800 that's
due every month will only represent the
minimum monthly payment which as you can
see is typically only 4% of the overall
balance or interest plus 1% of the
overall balance either way paying this
800 bucks a month ain't going to be
doing much so how do we knock that
balance down faster well before we get
into that let me show you guys a few
stats now the two examples I have right
here is something that people don't take
into account almost ever and that is
exactly how long it might take to pay
off debt with only making the minimum
monthly payments every month now I did a
little bit of research to see exactly
what these numbers look like and even I
was astonished on a $10,000 balance with
just an 18% interest which is pretty low
for a credit card that's acre interest
it can cost you over $166,000 in
interest and take almost $ 350 months
just to pay this thing off with making
minimum monthly payments only let me
make it plain just in case you didn't do
the math just making minimum monthly
payments on a $10,000 balance will take
you 29 years to pay that bad boy off now
if we drop that $10,000 debt down to
$2,000 and we just add a couple of
points of interest you can see it can
take more than 11 years to pay it off so
it's hyper important for you to as soon
as possible get a plan of action in
place and start to exercise some
discipline in your financial life let's
get to it so we've already reviewed
credit card number one let's take a look
at the other three cards that we're
going to be dealing with here now based
on some of the comments that were left
in that last video some of you guys are
dealing with real life scenarios like
this where you have varying balances
with varing monthly payments and also
varying interest rates but for the sake
of this video I'm going to stay away
from dealing with interest rates
altogether and just let you know that if
you want to knock this thing down a
little bit faster it get you a little
side hustle do some Uber Uber Eats
instacart Craigs List for some odd jobs
you can do pretty much anything to earn
a couple of $100 extra a month to help
start knocking this thing down quicker
so we're going to stay away from the
interest topic now the person we're
going to be talking about today makes
about $6,000 a month after all
deductions the money's been deposited in
their bank account and it's ready to
spend now in this case I'm going to use
a majority example because most people
in America cannot pay their rent their
mortgage or other credit cards using
credit cards I realize some exemptions
but we're not going to go with the
exceptions we're going to go with the
rule now our rent payment in this mod is
going to be $2,000 a month and our other
credit cards minimum monthly payments
are going to be about 1,200 bucks a
month this leaves us with about 2,800
bucks a month to cover all of our other
expenses gas fast food restaurants
groceries cell phone bill cable bill
other utilities things of that nature
pretty much anything else that you can
use a credit card to cover you want to
leave in this account now once we
factored in all of those expenses that
we've calculated before we ever started
this process that leaves us with $0 cash
flow at the end of the month we have no
money and just so we can keep the
information at the top of Mind
throughout this process we're going to
go ahead and put the credit card
information that we're attacking at the
bottom here so let's start off at month
number one where we have a $220,000
balance on a maxed out $20,000 credit
limit you're going to take every single
dime that you have left from your
paycheck after you paid all of the other
expenses that cannot be paid using a
credit card you're going to take that
and put it into this credit card now I
know a lot of you are not going to be
hyper comfortable putting every single
dime that you have into this credit card
but for this particular particular
example to cut this down as fast as
possible we're going to do it like this
my advice to you is to do as much as you
can possibly stomach now once we've use
all that money to pay down that credit
card we're going to be left with a
balance of
$17,200 the key thing here is to pay
attention to when you pay that credit
card now I've released as many videos as
a credit Guru can possibly release
teaching you when to pay your credit
card properly to affect your credit
score so I'll leave it to you to go
check out those on my channel but all
I'm going to say here is make sure you
pay it down a couple of days before the
statement date and try not to do any
spending before that reporting data or
that credit card to the credit bureaus I
realized this will be difficult but try
to keep the spending to a minimum now if
you start to make a habit out of this
what will happen as you start to get
that balance lower and lower as you will
start to see it affect your credit score
immensely one of the main goals here is
to start to build the right habits that
will help you carry this forward as
those balances drop your credit gets
better and your score continues to scy
Rocket now if you do it this way you're
going to hide all of the expenditures
that are going to come throughout the
month from the credit bureaus keeping
that credit score as high as it could
possibly be now throughout the month
we're going to realize about $2,000 in
expenses these are things that cannot be
avoided they cannot change they do not
go anywhere these are your monthly bills
that are static so we know for an
absolute fact that we're going to be
charging at least this amount of money
to this card every single month now I
know at this point you're probably a
little bit confused because I told you
in the beginning that we had 2,800 bucks
of expenses every single month what we
do but what you're not taking into
account is that once you move this money
from here to here every single month you
actually satisfy this monthly payment
without making it a separate bill thus
eliminating this is a bill all together
this essentially goes away now like I
told you in the other video before this
will create about $800 of cash flow
every single month now every single
month that you continue to do this and
move this $2,800 over from your bank to
the credit card you will realize an $800
drop in the balance every single month
as long as you continue to stay
disciplined which in month number one
will bring us down to $19,200 at the end
of the month now I told you that we're
not going to address the interest rates
for these cards in this video but just
for your edification every single month
that you keep this $20,000 balance
they're trying to add $500 of Interest
onto that because in month number two
the interest that they're going to add
to that 192 is going to be a little bit
less than it was for that $20,000 so it
behooves you to knock it down as fast as
possible now let's take a look at month
number two where we have a beginning
balance of $199,200 we're going to do
the exact same thing as we did in month
number one we're going to take out all
of the money to cover the things that we
cannot use a credit card to pay for once
again rent mortgage car note other
credit cards and once we get rid of all
of that once again we'll be left over
with our $2,800 for our monthly expenses
now right before the statement day we're
going to make sure that we go ahead and
drop all this money into this credit
card once again doing our best to make
sure that the credit bureau see the
lowest number possible for our
utilization making our credit score do
what go up now because by depositing
this whole $2,800 we automatically
satisfy this $800 minimum monthly
payment we only have $2,000 of monthly
expenses left to pay for throughout the
month leaving us with an ending balance
of $188,400 the progress should be
exciting at this point now if you can
stay disciplined and continue to do this
month after month after month after
month after month at month s you can see
we're already down to
$14,400 on this balance remember the
information I told you earlier on that
$10,000 balance with just a monthly
minimum minimum payments being made 29
years to pay it off I think it's clear
at this point we're going to get this
done a lot quicker than that now unlike
in the other video where I told you to
pay attention to that balance dropping
because once you get to a certain point
you're going to want to go look for an
interest free 12 18 or even 24 month
balance transfer credit card well this
particular case you have three other
maxed out credit cards so the
possibilities if you finding an interest
free transfer credit card willing to
offer you a significant amount of money
are Slim So at this particular point in
time we're not going to do that portion
of it we're going to stay diligent and
pay down the bills with the money that
we have I want you to take a look at our
balance at month 7 now we started off
with a $20,000 maxed out credit card
which means at this point we have about
$5,600 of available credit now we all
know what happens when you're making a
concerted effort to get something done
and you're being really diligent about
the process life is going to throw
something at you it's going to throw a
wrench in the process you're going to
get a flat tire brakes are going to go
out water heater is going to bust the
kids are going to have a big project or
some kind of school trip but what I want
to encourage you to do is to continue to
use this credit card for whatever reason
if anything pops up know that the money
in the credit card is there as long as
you have this process in your brain you
can always return to it kind of like a
GPS rerouting system if you get off
track all you got to do is continue to
pay attention and at some point you'll
get back on course now I want to take
the opportunity right now to address
something that's really scary with this
process that I did not address in the
last video and that is the possibility
that the credit card issuer based upon
your history with them could lower your
credit limit after you've put all of
your money into that card this is an
obvious risk that can scare a lot of
people away from this process and it's
understandable but there's a couple of
things that you can do at the beginning
of this process to help mitigate this
issue when you know that you're going to
start paying down these credit cards
like this the first thing that you need
to do is call your credit card issuer
let them know that hey life got off
track for a little bit and I was
struggling financially but I contined to
make my payments to you guys and now I'm
at a point where I can start knocking
this thing down in chunks let them know
that they can look forward to payments
of a certain amount each month and that
you'll continue to use the credit card
and hope to maintain a good healthy
relationship with them now this doesn't
guarantee that they won't lower your
credit limit but I can tell you right
now that thousands of people have used
this system over time to help knock out
massive debts quickly and efficiently
but y'all know me I got to give you all
the facts I got to give you all the
options I got to give you all the
information I'll let you do with it what
you will back to the video now I know
this slide is a little bit Overkill but
I wanted you to be able to realize and
visualize what it looks like month after
month after month as you continue to
knock these balances down as you can see
on my example with no interest being
calculated of course you knock this out
at month 25 $0 left on this card now if
you add in the interest even if you
double the amount of time and put it to
50 months you're still way below that
350 months that we looked at in the
beginning of the video now the question
becomes what are you going to do at this
point what is the next step in the
process when you have three other maxed
out credit cards maybe it's not as
obvious as you think you see once you're
done paying off card number one no
matter which card it is that you choose
to make card number one you're not going
to increase your lifestyle you're not
going to change your spending habits the
very next thing you're going to do is
take all of that money that you were
applying to card number one and then
choose your next card to attack wisely
and simply apply this principle all over
again but this time you're going to be
adding the amount of money that you are
already dedicating to card number one to
card number two this will help you
exponentially po Al decrease the amount
of time that it takes to knock that
card's balance all the way out and then
you'll replicate that for card number
three and card number four five six and
seven if you need to the system doesn't
stop or change it just gets
exponentially better and depending on
exactly which way you choose to do it
from the very beginning this method can
be called the snowball or the Avalanche
method using velocity banking this is
not something that's new I did not
invent it other channels that produce it
on YouTube did not invent it this method
of paying down debt has been around for
decades but the information for you to
be able to do it has not so if you like
this kind of content from me and want to
see more of it I want to go ahead and
like the video subscribe to my channel
and make sure you turn on your
notifications this way you'll be
notified of anytime I drop a new video
and last but not least I know a lot of
people that are in this situation have
credit issues maybe you have late
payments collection accounts other
negatives that might be pling your
credit score I want to encourage you to
check out my new DIY credit repair
