You've realized the error of your debt-ridden days, and it's time to turn things around.
00:07
But tackling debt can quickly feel like you're in over your head.
00:11
Here are two major ways to go about it.
00:15
The snowball method is one of the most recommended ways to ditch debt, since early wins can keep
00:20
you motivated.
00:21
Start by listing all your debts from lowest to highest, then pay as much as possible on
00:26
the one with the smallest balance, while paying just the minimum on the others.
00:31
Once you knock that debt out, move on to the next smallest debt, and so on.
00:35
This snowballs until you're debt-free.
00:39
The avalanche method is mathematically the best way to banish debt, especially if you
00:43
have some high-interest accounts.
00:45
Again, list out all your debts, but this time do highest to lowest interest rates, and then
00:50
work on paying down the one with the highest interest rate while paying the minimum on
00:55
the others.
00:56
This way you can save hundreds, even thousands, on interest payments, potentially lowering
01:00
the time it takes to pay off your debt by months.
