Frequently asked questions
Why pay smallest first?
Behavioural science. Clearing a whole debt early builds motivation and momentum. Works well if you're prone to giving up on long-term plans.
Is snowball worse than avalanche?
Mathematically, yes — you pay slightly more total interest. But if you actually stick with snowball vs give up on avalanche, snowball wins in practice.
Does snowball work for just one debt?
The method is irrelevant with one debt. Just pay maximum possible monthly.
Should I maintain minimums while snowballing?
Yes — all minimums must be paid to avoid late fees and credit damage. Extra only after minimums.
