Frequently Asked Questions

What is the debt snowball method?

You pay minimum payments on all debts, then put any extra money toward the smallest balance. Once it's paid off, roll that payment to the next smallest. The quick wins build motivation.

What is the debt avalanche method?

You pay minimum payments on all debts, then direct extra money toward the highest-interest debt. This minimises total interest paid, making it mathematically optimal.

What is a good debt-to-income ratio?

Lenders generally prefer a DTI below 36%. A DTI above 43% makes it difficult to qualify for most loans. Below 20% is considered excellent.

What happens if I only pay credit card minimums?

Minimum payments are typically 1–2% of the balance plus interest. On a $5,000 balance at 20% APR, paying only minimums can take over 20 years and cost more than $6,000 in interest.
