For a single debt, both the avalanche and snowball methods produce the same result. The difference matters when you have multiple debts to prioritize.
Pay off the highest interest rate debt first. Saves the most money on interest. Best for minimizing total cost.
Pay off the smallest balance first. Provides quick wins for motivation. Best for staying on track psychologically.
