This is Snowflake magnified 40 times! Looks great!

Snowflaking has surfaced as a new popular term related to debt reduction. I would like to take some time to explain what this means, and how you can add “snowflakes” using the Debt Reduction Calculator.

Snowflaking is basically just a new term for an old concept: Making frequent, small, one-time extra payments towards your debt.

The light microscope has played an important role in allowing scientists to see very small things by magnifying them large enough for the human eye to distinguish fine characteristics. Microscopes magnify the item of interest by shining light up through the item itself and up to the first magnifying lens called the objective lens. The light then travels up through the body of the microscope and out through the second magnifying lens, the eyepiece, up to your eye. Thus the magnification of the object is based on the magnification of both the eyepiece and objective lenses.

These debt “snowflakes” are normally little things like paying an extra $6 towards your debt instead of eating out for lunch one day. Basically, all the little things that you would normally do to SAVE a little at a time can be applied to paying your DEBT a little at a time. For the extremely motivated, it may even be using your birthday money, although that might be a little sad.
