Avalanche
I paid off $34k in credit card debt in 28 months. The avalanche calculator showed me I'd save over $4,000 in interest compared to snowball — that number kept me going every single month.

Snowball
We had 7 debts. Snowball was the right call for us — paying off that first medical bill in month 2 made it feel real. 42 months later, we did the debt-free scream in our kitchen.

Avalanche
Two credit cards and a personal loan. Avalanche, $400/mo extra, 18 months. The hardest part was month 5 when nothing was paid off yet. Push through it — the acceleration at the end is real.
