Debt Payoff Strategy Guide & FAQs
What is the difference between Snowball and Avalanche?
The Debt Snowball (popularized by Dave Ramsey) focuses on human psychology: you pay off the smallest balance first regardless of interest rate. Knocking out quick wins builds unstoppable behavioral momentum.
The Debt Avalanche focuses on pure mathematics: you pay off the debt with the highest interest rate (APR) first. This mathematically minimizes the total dollars paid to banks. Choose Snowball if you need motivation, or Avalanche if you are disciplined by numbers.
Should I invest in stocks while paying off debt?
If your debt interest rate is above 7-8% (like credit cards and high-APR personal loans), paying off the debt is a guaranteed 20%+ tax-free return on your money. No stock or fund guarantees 20% every year. Clear toxic debt first, then compound wealth aggressively.
What happens when one debt is completely paid off?
That's where the magic happens! You take the minimum payment you were making on the cleared debt, plus your extra money, and roll it entirely into the next debt. Your monthly attack power gets larger and larger with each eliminated debt.
