Debt Snowball vs Debt Avalanche: Which Pays Off Credit Cards Faster?
The debt avalanche method (paying off the highest-interest debt first) saves the most money in total interest. The debt snowball method (paying off the smallest balance first) produces faster psychological wins and has better completion rates in practice. For most people with multiple debts, the snowball method wins because it is the one people actually finish.
