Dealing With Debt, The Snowball vs The Avalanche Method

from The Credit Show

The internet has strong opinions about which debt payoff method is superior. Harry Jacobs has a stronger one: the best strategy is the one you'll actually stick to. In this episode, he breaks down the debt snowball and the debt avalanche — how each works, what each costs you, and why the mathematically optimal plan sometimes fails people while the psychologically sustainable one doesn't. Including a client with $30,000 in debt who quit the avalanche after three months and paid off everything in 18 months once she switched to the snowball. Plus: the hybrid approach Harry actually recommends, the non-negotiable that makes either method work, and how paying down credit card debt directly rebuilds your credit score at the same time.
