FAQ
What's the difference between avalanche and snowball?
Debt avalanche pays highest interest rate first (saves more money). Debt snowball pays smallest balance first (provides quick wins for motivation). Both work - choose what keeps you motivated!
How much extra should I pay?
Even small extra payments make a big difference. An extra $50-100/month can cut years off your payoff time and save thousands in interest.
Should I consolidate my debt?
Consolidation can simplify payments and potentially lower interest rates. However, make sure the new rate is actually lower and watch out for fees.
What if I have multiple debts?
List all debts with balances and rates. Use avalanche method (highest rate first) to save the most money, or snowball method (smallest balance first) for psychological wins.
