Overwhelmed by debt? Whether you’re adjusting to life with a new baby or climbing the career ladder, the right debt strategy can make all the difference.
Two popular methods for paying off debt are the Debt Snowball and the Debt Avalanche. Here’s a quick breakdown:
Debt Snowball
• Pay off the smallest balance first
• Great for building motivation and momentum
• Best if you need quick wins to stay encouraged
Debt Avalanche
• Pay off the highest interest rate first
• Saves you more money over time
• Best if you’re focused on minimizing total interest paid
Which is better? It depends on your mindset.
• Want fast wins and psychological momentum? → Go Snowball
• Want to pay less overall? → Go Avalanche
The most important thing is to start with a plan. Both methods work—you just need one that works for you.
