Description:    Debt Freedom Calculator is designed to help people get out of debt 
                through the most efficient means possible. It calculates 
                three different payoff scenarios: highest rate, smallest
                balance, and smallest (balance to monthly ratio). The user
                can apply all three and see which one provides the best way
                of getting out of debt while paying the least amount of interest
                in the shortest possible time.

How to Use:     You must enter the name, balance, interest rate, and
                minimum monthly payment for all your outstanding debts. You 
                also have the ability to put in a delayed start time for those
                debts you are not currently making payments on such as those
                "no payments till 99" deals on new cars.   
  
                You enter each debt information by right-mouse clicking in the 
                white space in the upper left of the main window. A menu will 
                pop-up and you can select "Add New Debt" to bring up a new
                window where you will be able to enter the debt information.
                You repeat the process until you have entered all of your debts.
                If you make a mistake you can right-mouse click on the debt in
                question and choose "edit" or "delete" from the menu.
             
                After you have all the debt information entered, right-mouse
                click in the white space in the upper left and select "Extra Money".
                If you have any extra money left over at the end of the month 
                after paying bills and you want to use that to accelerate paying
                you debts you would enter that amount here. If you have no extra
                money then you can skip this step.                                                              
                Finally, select one of the payoff priority methods and click on
                the button in the upper right that says "calculate".
