💥 Episode Overview

Debt doesn't just impact your wallet—it impacts your freedom, your peace of mind, and your future. In this episode of Beyond the Budget, we’re diving deep into two of the most powerful debt payoff strategies: the Debt Snowball and the Debt Avalanche.

You’ll learn how each one works, which one may be best for your personality and situation, and how to get started—because the sooner you begin, the sooner you’ll be free.

🔑 What You’ll Learn

✅ Why paying off debt is about more than math
✅ How the Debt Snowball can build momentum through quick wins
✅ How the Debt Avalanche saves the most money over time
✅ Which method is right for you
✅ Why behavior—not numbers—is the key to winning with money

📊 Debt Payoff Methods Compared

Debt Snowball
– Pay off smallest balances first
– Builds motivation with quick wins
– Ideal if you need to feel progress early on

Debt Avalanche
– Pay off highest interest debts first
– Saves more in interest over time
– Best for those who stay motivated by the numbers

🔁 Bottom Line: Choose the one you’ll stick with consistently—because winning with money is 80% behavior and only 20% head knowledge.
