The debt snowball method is an effective strategy to eliminate your debt one step at a time. By focusing on your smallest debts first, you build momentum, which can motivate you to tackle larger debts. Here’s how to use the snowball method to get out of debt.
- List all debts in order from smallest to largest balance.
- Make minimum payments on all debts except the smallest.
- Put any extra funds toward paying off the smallest debt as quickly as possible.
- Once the smallest debt is paid off, move to the next smallest debt and repeat the process.
- Celebrate each milestone to stay motivated on your journey to becoming debt-free.
