Get Out Of Debt With The Debt Snowball Method

Wed, 10/14/2009 - 17:21

Financial advisers talk about getting out of debt by putting your debts in order of the highest interest rates to the lowest. The idea is to pay the minimum payments on the lower interest rates and throw all your extra money towards the highest interest debt first. In theory, this is a good idea to save you interest costs, but what if your higher interest debts have large balances and the lower interest ones have smaller balances? It can take a long time to pay anything off. The debt snowball method works better for many people because the psychological feeling of getting out of debt motivates them to stick with it.
