  • In this video I show you how to pay off debt using the Debt Snowball or the Debt Avalanche method.
    There are two fundamental differences between the Debt Snowball and the Debt Avalanche methods, which we go over in this video.
    Essentially, the Debt Snowball method has you paying off your debt in order of smallest amount owed to the largest amount owed regardless of interest rate.
    The debt Avalanche, however, has you paying off your debt from highest interest rate to lowest interest rate, regardless of amount owed.
    There are pros and cons to both, and I will show you in a real Excel spreadsheet how the debt snowball and the debt Avalanche will help you pay off debt!
    Make sure you watch until the end of this video to fully understand how to pay off debt using the Debt Snowball and Debt Avalanche strategies!

      Strongly depends on the amounts and the interest rates. If your biggest debt has a high rate and you focus on this, it might be best for the avalanche and interest payments, but the psychological effect of killing sequences of debts is reduced. It really depends on the situation of course. Ramsey's argument is that the success of paying off debts counts higher than the interest payment, as most of his cases didn't start out sensibly anyway. If you have $20K or $30K credit card debt against 15% to 25%, you're already not the sharpest knife in the block, so getting to success seems more important than saving a buck on interest that doesn't need to be paid.
      As others have said, from a mathematical point of view, the avalanche makes sense. But there's a reason that people end up in these situations and that usually is nothing about making sense and all about making bad decisions and sticking your head in the sand. I think the Ramsey approach (small successes first to build towards bigger ones) is helpful for these situations.

      What kind of investment do you make? I totally agree with you. I have a lump sum that does almost nothing in a savings account. But it is difficult for me to participate in certain types of investments at the moment due to the full-time nature of my job. It will be way too stressful to combine so I don't even think about.facing it.

For this reason, It's important to have a solid support structure (financial consultant) to guide you through especially in asset picking. I operate with (Alexandra Diana Jose) a consultant who partners with a licensed wealth management firm. For the record, the experience has been the best for my finance. She made me financially stable investing through her help, now I earn on a monthly basis through her passive income strategy... So I'd advise you do get a good investment advisor for yourself.

    Many years ago, I paid off a car loan. I was so happy to have that money available. Then, it hit me. I was used to paying for the car loan. So, I started paying myself, instead. I put that payment in my savings account every month. In less than two years, I had the money to buy a new car, but I didn't. I didn't need a car, and my savings kept rising.
    Every time I would get a raise, I would add that additional amount to the mortgage on my house. I paid the mortgage off several years early.

      @Tahkeem Hilton2.0 I was just giving a realistic example. I hear people doing stupid things with money when they call into Dave's show. I use to also see a tax return as a bonus but it is the complete opposite. That is money you could have used to pay off debt to minimize your debt growing with interest. That debt free money that could have been invested and grown to a larger sum. The system is so messed up that even if you fill out your W-2 per the instructions it will still be wrong. Dave has told people in some circumstances to put down dependents even if you have none just to adjust it correctly. The idea is to get or owe $200 or less when tax time rolls around.

      I’ve been working doing that same exact thing. Only because I have 3 CC’s with low limits that have “high balances” but the high balances are actually not much at all but it really impacted my credit utilization. So I’ve been knocking those out quickly while my Credit score is going up significantly and then my 2 high balance accounts will be my only debt and I’ll get those paid off within a year

  • @JanMan37
    @JanMan37 4 года назад +1

    I think a balance of both is the best. For lower principal debts the psychological effect of killing them off can be motivating. For higher debts such as car loans and student debt, I think the avalanche method makes most sense.

    Dave doesn't cite the real reason the snowball works, and it has always bothered me.
    Yes there is a psychological aspect to it.. but no that isn't the reason.
    The reason it works, is that even the smallest debt has a minimum payment. When it is paid off in full, there is that much more room in the budget with which to attack the next largest debt. Remember, most folks that are in debt trouble have ZERO room in their budget on day one.
    Beans and rice, canceling cable and taking on extra part time work to attack the highest interest rate first regardless of the size of the debt, makes no immediate room in the budget with which to increase speed.
    Speed and momentum.
    The debt snowball will get you out of debt faster 100% of the time.

    Most people have a psychology need to have a first debt COMPLETELY paid off so the "smallest amount first" makes sense.
    BUT if you are rational and know you are committed long term, then paying off the BIGGEST interest rate is something to go for instead, because you know the amount of interest you pay per month will go down the fastest. EITHER WAY, once something is paid off, apply the entirety of those previous payments to the NEXT debt!

    The debt snowball method is effective, yet investing in assets such as rental properties or syndications might be a more strategic use of available funds than debt repayment. Targus primarily targets individuals with lower net worth who are burdened by debt. However, for those with a net worth exceeding $1 million, it's often more advantageous to focus on wealth accumulation rather than debt elimination. Repaying debt is not necessarily synonymous with achieving financial freedom.

    If the snowball method is only beneficial on a psychological level then i think Avalanche is better.Besides that so called psychological advantage can also have a negative effect.It can convince some people that they can replace that lost debt with a new debt.Ive seen it happen over and over with some people.
    Just have the mindset of attacking the highest rate first as opposed to amount.Thats whats hurting you most in the long run.

    The snowball has been working for me because when I pay off a small debt whatever that minimum payment was per month is now excess money freed up in my budget. It makes the ball roll faster and faster. If I was paying debt off by interest rate I would’ve paid off 1 line of credit by now instead of 7. 😂

  • @justrusty
    @justrusty 5 лет назад +5

    This is one of those situations where the psychological component is very important, especially for a person who is trying to change their financial habits. The"positive feedback" from the debt snowball beats the avalanche for most people for that reason, despite the potential difference in total cost. One of those cases where I am forced, kicking and screaming, to agree with Ramsey.

    When the video started and you described debt Snowball method first, my first thoughts were .. wow! that so stupid to even consider that method. Maybe it helps "weaker" people but looking at the difference in $$ to pay in interest between the two methods should be a much better catalyst to motivate them to follow and respect their debt payment plan. A debt consolidation loan is also a good way to go. Often the interest rate will be much lower than the CC.

    • @neilharbott8394
      @neilharbott8394 5 лет назад +3

      Primarily because doing the snowball you're killing small debts quickly, though in the spreadsheet example the first two debts are both small and high interest, so there is no psychological benefit. However, there are situations where an avalanche might not pay the first debt off until you've been at it for 2 or more years, this can be demoralizing and result in folks quitting before they got traction. With the snowball (unless you have huge loans only) you're going to be paying off a couple within a few months - this can be a positive mental feedback and demonstrates that you can do this. More people complete a debt snowball, because they're encouraged by their own early results, and getting to the foot of that $23000 student debt, doesn't seem so daunting when they look back at their track record.
      An avalanche requires long term discipline - a snowball provides positive feedback through observed results. Most people respond to emotion, not logic. Yeah I can see the math advantage of the avalanche, but I didn't get into debt using logic and math! Emotion gets most people into debt, and playing on that same emotion has more chance of getting them out.
