Basic forecasting and scenario comparisons
Hello,
I've recently finished my education, and need to make some plans for paying back a large student loan debt. I would like to be able to compare hypothetical scenarios to see which scenario is more economical. I have a basic understanding of Excel, but I don't have any formal training in Excel or accounting and I could use some help. One scenario I'd like to run is living alone versus living with a roommate. I need to know how much faster I can pay down the loan, and more importantly, how much money I will save in interest by accelerating the payments. Likewise, I would like to compare the total mortgage costs of buying a one bedroom condo and living alone versus buying a 2+ bedroom and living with a roommate(s). How difficult is it to customize Excel to do this kind of number crunching? Are there 3rd party freeware applications available? Any suggestions or thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Nemo |
