What Changed? Key Educational Takeaway

Using the Debt Avalanche method (targeting highest interest rate first) saves you ₹0 in interest and eliminates your debts in 40 months. However, the Debt Snowball strategy eliminates your first debt (Credit Card Outstanding) in month 8, providing immediate mental relief and momentum. Once completely debt-free, your monthly cash flow will expand by ₹65,800/mo to invest into wealth creation!

Snowball vs Avalanche FAQs

Debt Avalanche pays the loan with the highest interest rate first (e.g. 42% credit card), minimizing total interest paid. Debt Snowball pays the smallest balance first (e.g. ₹50,000 personal loan), giving fast emotional wins.
