Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use the debt snowball or avalanche method?

The avalanche method saves more money on interest, but the snowball method provides faster wins to keep you motivated. Our worksheet compares both methods for your specific debts so you can make an informed choice.

Should I save or pay off debt first?

We recommend a small emergency fund ($1,000-$2,000) first, then aggressively pay debt, then build full emergency fund. The worksheet includes a priority flowchart to guide this decision.

How do I stay motivated during debt payoff?

The worksheet includes a visual debt thermometer, milestone celebrations, and a progress tracker. Research shows that tracking progress and celebrating small wins dramatically increases completion rates.
