Compare Avalanche and Snowball Debt Repayment Methods

The avalanche method saves the most money. The snowball method keeps most people going. Neither is right for everyone. This maps both methods onto your specific debts and tells you which to choose based on what you are more likely to actually stick with, which is ultimately the more important variable.
