Understand your result
- Your best bedtime is 9:45 PM. Lenders read this as the share of monthly gross income already going to debt.
- Most banks consider this a healthy zone — conventional and FHA loans stay in reach.

Ways to improve your result
- Prioritize paying off the smallest balance to remove its minimum payment first.
- Refinance high-APR debt into a single lower-rate loan if credit allows.
- Increase documented income (bonuses, 1099) — lenders count it if you can prove 2 years.
- Delay large new purchases until DTI is under 36%.
