Financial Flows Examples

Financial flow models follow how debt, savings, and interest interact over time. They illustrate compounding growth and the drag of recurring payments.

Scenarios like credit-card debt versus steady investments show how small changes in rates or habits can snowball. Use them to see how interest amplifies both savings and obligations.
