Both methods work—it really depends on your personality and goals. The avalanche saves more money long-term by tackling high-interest debt first.
whereas the snowball builds momentum by knocking out small balances quickly. If you need motivation, snowball often feels better. If you want efficiency, avalanche usually wins.
