The Debt Snowball Method is a great way to pay off debt by making the smallest, most manageable payments first. It's also a great way to get started on your own debt snowball, which is the process of making a series of small, manageable payments that add up to a larger payment.

The Debt Snowball Method works with any amount of debt, and it can help you pay off your debts as quickly as possible.

What Is The Debt Snowball?

The Debt Snowball Method is simply paying off one credit card at a time by making smaller payments like $50 or $100 on each card every month until you've paid off all of them. The goal is to make sure that each payment goes toward the smallest balance first even if that means taking longer than usual to pay off that particular card.

How Do You Use The Debt Snowball Method?

The first step is to make a list of all your debts, then prioritize them in order of how much you owe and how much you're paying each month. Put the highest interest rate first, then put the smaller debts at the bottom of your list.

Next, take one debt from each category and pay it off completely. Then move on to the next debt in each category, paying it off completely before moving on to the next one. When you've paid off all your debts, save up 50% of what's left over. That will be your emergency fund!

Now that you've paid off all your debts, work on saving up another 50%, which means working toward retirement or whatever else you want for yourself!
