No, that would require a total of $9 million since only half is being spent on debt reduction and it was $4.5 million.

So when will we be debt free?

So when will we be debt free?

If we raise the $6 mil then any remaining debt should be gone within 12 months IMHO. Cash savings in interest payments frees up cash to retire debt.

1/2 of $6M target equals $3M
$4.5M minus $3M leaves $1.5M
Annual Interest payments on $4.5M was $300K.
$1.5M divided by $300K equals 5 years.

Basic arithmetic
