1. Try the Debt Snowball Method

The debt snowball method focuses on paying off your smallest balance first while making minimum payments on all other cards. Once the smallest balance is gone, you roll that payment into the next-smallest balance, gaining momentum as you go.

Why it works

• Quick wins keep you motivated.
• Creates a psychological sense of progress.
• Helps build positive habits and momentum.

Best for: People who need motivation and structure.

2. Use the Debt Avalanche Method

Unlike the snowball, the debt avalanche method targets the highest-interest debt first. You pay as much as possible toward the card with the highest APR while keeping minimum payments on others.

Why it works

• Saves the most money overall.
• Reduces repayment time.

Best for: People comfortable with a slower emotional reward in exchange for maximum financial savings.
