The snowball method is a way to pay off your credit card bills. First, you pay off the cards with the lowest amounts. Even though the first balance is small, you feel good about it and are ready to move on to the next one.

If you’re trying to crush debt, the debt avalanche method is a great strategy. You tackle the debt with the nastiest interest rate first, throwing all your extra cash at it. Once that debt is gone, you move on to the next highest one on your list. This way, you save the most money on interest and become debt-free quicker!
