💡DEBT SNOWBALL VS. DEBT AVALANCHE

The debt snowball method focuses on paying off your smallest debt balance first, helping you build momentum as you eliminate individual debts.

The debt avalanche method focuses on paying off the debt with the highest interest rate first, which generally minimizes total interest when other factors and your total repayment budget are equal.

So, which should you choose?

If your priority is minimizing interest, the debt avalanche is generally the mathematical winner. If you need quick wins to stay motivated, the debt snowball could help you stick with your plan.

The best strategy is one you can realistically follow until your debt is paid off.
