Frequently Asked Questions

Avalanche vs Snowball — which is better?

The avalanche method (highest-rate first) saves the most money in interest. The snowball method (lowest-balance first) provides psychological momentum by eliminating debts faster. Most financial experts recommend avalanche, but snowball works better if you need motivation to stick with the plan.

How much should I put toward extra debt payments?

Even $50–$100 extra per month can dramatically reduce payoff time and interest. The key is consistency. Start by cutting one discretionary expense and directing that amount to your highest-interest debt.
