Debt snowball vs. debt avalanche methods

When tackling debt, consider the debt snowball method. Start with smallest debts first.

Quick Wins

When tackling debt, two popular strategies are the debt snowball and debt avalanche methods. The debt snowball focuses on paying off debts from smallest to largest balance, regardless of interest rates.

You make minimum payments on all debts except the smallest, which you attack aggressively until it’s gone. The quick wins from eliminating smaller debts first provide motivation and momentum.

Snowball Method

Pay minimums on all but the smallest debt. Attack aggressively until it's paid off.

Quick wins from clearing small debts first provide motivation to stay committed and focused.

Debt Avalanche

Alternatively, try the debt avalanche method. Prioritize high-interest debts regardless of balance.

Interest Focus

Pay minimums on all debts and allocate extra funds to the highest APR debt.

The debt avalanche strategy helped me save a significant amount in interest payments over time. It's a smart choice if you're focused on long-term savings.
