The Minimum Payment Trap
Credit card issuers often set minimum payments (typically 1-2% of balance) just high enough to cover interest and fees. Paying only the minimum means you'll be in debt for decades and pay enormous amounts in interest. Always pay more than the minimum when possible.
Debt Avalanche Method
Pay your highest APR debts first while paying minimums on others. This minimizes total interest paid and is mathematically optimal. If you have multiple credit cards, tackle the highest-interest one aggressively.
Debt Snowball Method
Pay off smallest balances first while paying minimums on others. You'll have psychological wins as accounts close, which can be motivating. Total interest paid is slightly higher than avalanche, but motivation matters for long-term success.
Consider a balance transfer to a 0% APR credit card (if approved) to accelerate payoff. Just watch out for balance transfer fees and the promotional period end date.
