Debt Snowball vs. Avalanche: Which Payoff Method Is Right for You?

Paying off debt can feel like climbing a mountain, but the right strategy makes it doable. At Advantage Collections, we talk to consumers daily about their options. Two popular methods stand out: the Debt Snowball and Debt Avalanche. Which fits you?

  • Debt Snowball: Tackle smallest balances first for quick wins. Pay $200 here, $300 there—momentum builds as debts disappear. Best for motivation seekers.
  • Debt Avalanche: Hit high-interest debts first to save money long-term. Knocking out a 20% APR card before a 5% loan cuts total cost. Ideal for number crunchers.

Try this: Pick one, stick to it for 90 days, and adjust if needed. Facing a debt we’re collecting? Call us—we can tailor a plan that works for both sides.
