Assignment 1: The Sophisticated Wedge
After watching the lesson videos for this week, pull out your assigment from “Dealing with the Devil” and input your consumer debt into a free debt payoff calculator. You can use this calculator from CALCULATOR.NET.
Once you’ve identified the time it takes to paydown your debt, decide if you you need to “pump the breaks” or “hit the gas” on applying your wedge. Set a target for you weekly wedge based on this analysis.

Assignment 2: Expand the Wedge – Big Hits
In this exercise we will identify and plan for those expenses that hit over irregular periods (quarterly, annually, etc.) and plan for them.
Utilizing the Debt DestroyerWk7 Workbook or a fresh sheet of paper (see example below), identify opportunities to be more intentional in your spend. Using simple calculations, assign a value to any behavioral changes, efficiencies or reductions that you can implement this week.

Assignment 3: Create your Weekly Attack Plan (5 points)
Utilizing the Debt DestroyerWk7 Workbook or blank sheet of paper, draft three (3) Spend Offenses. Leverage the efficiencies, eliminations and behavioral changes identified in the Value Alignment and Expanding the Wedge exercises, or include any other opportunities to expand your wedge.
Spend Offensive Examples:
- Pre-pay a bill (ex. Insurance, Invoice, etc.) and take the discount
- Go a week without a slip-up
- Clear your freezer and refill it with bulk meat from a rancher
Draft three (3) Positive Influxes, hustles, initiatives and easy wins to generate cash inflow.
Positive Influx Examples:
- Learn to skim read and knock out a book in one week.
- Mentor a young buck
- Turn up the heat on your side work…Set a deadline
Sum all initiatives to calculate your Estimated Free Cash Flow (FCF) potential.

Assignment 4: DAILY Spend Offenses OR Positive Influxes (4 points per day for a max total of 16 points)
For 4 days this week, set your timer for 20 minutes and focus on one (1) Spend Offensive or one (1) Positive Influx. You are not measured by effectiveness, you are simply devoting time and intentionally making bold moves with your money.

Assignment 5: Review your week and Drive the Wedge (5 points)
At the end of the week, spend some time going back to think about your week. What worked? What did not? Note your successes and ensure you provide a dollar value.
At the bottom of the sheet, input your Weekly Wedge, your Estimated FCF and Actual Wedge.
Drive the Wedge: Chose an obligation from your Obligation Hit-List and transfer the value of the actual wedge created to the principal balance. This is the single most important step in the entire program.
