Avalanche vs. Snowball
The Avalanche method prioritizes debts with the highest interest rates first. This is mathematically optimal and guarantees you pay the least amount of total interest. The Snowball method targets the smallest balance first, ignoring the rate. This is psychologically optimal, providing quick "wins" that keep you motivated during a long payoff journey.
The Secret Benefit of Inflation
Inflation is a debtor's best friend. Because inflation reduces the purchasing power of money over time, your fixed-rate debt actually becomes cheaper to service in real terms. If you have a 4% fixed mortgage but inflation is running at 3%, your "Real Effective Rate" is barely 1%. The lender eats the loss of purchasing power, not you.
