How to Pay Off Debt Faster
The most effective strategies for paying off debt include the avalanche method (paying highest interest first) and the snowball method (paying smallest balance first). Both approaches work — the avalanche method saves more money, while the snowball method provides psychological wins that keep you motivated.
Credit Card Debt Statistics
The average American carries approximately $6,500 in credit card debt with an average APR of 20.7%. Making only minimum payments on a $6,500 balance at 20.7% APR would take over 17 years to pay off and cost more than $8,000 in interest alone.
