Debt Snowball vs. Debt Avalanche: Which Method Feels Easier to Stick With?

If you’ve started looking into debt payoff methods, you’ve probably come across two names over and over again: debt snowball and debt avalanche. 

Everyone seems to have strong opinions about which one is “right.” One financial expert swears by the debt snowball. Another insists the debt avalanche is the only logical choice. Friends, podcasts, YouTube videos, and social media all seem to have different opinions. And instead of feeling motivated, you’re left feeling overwhelmed.

If you’re wondering:

“Can someone just tell me which one will work for me?” You’re in the right place.

The truth is, both methods have helped thousands of people become debt-free. The question isn’t which one is universally better—it’s which one fits you.

Because at the end of the day, the best debt payoff strategy is the one you can stick with when life gets busy, unexpected expenses pop up, and motivation starts to fade.

Let’s walk through both approaches together so you can choose the one that feels right for your personality, your goals, and this season of your life.

How to Pay Off Debt on a Low Income When There’s Barely Anything Left After Bills!

The First 5 Steps to Paying Off Debt When Your Finances Feel Like a Mess

If you’ve been avoiding your bank account, stuffing bills into a drawer, or telling yourself you’ll deal with your debt “later,” you’re not alone.

Debt can feel heavy. It can make you believe you’re bad with money or that you’ll never catch up. The real issue isn’t that you lack discipline or intelligence. It’s that no one ever gave you a simple starting point that doesn’t feel overwhelming.

So instead of trying to fix your entire financial life today, we’re going to slow this down. Not to make it complicated—but to make it doable.

This is a gentle, beginner-friendly debt payoff plan designed for real life, especially for women who are tired, busy, emotionally drained, or just unsure where to begin. 

You don’t need to be good at math, love spreadsheets, or have a perfect budget. You only need a willingness to take one step today.

Let’s take the step together.

How To Pray When You Need Your Debt Cancelled Overnight!

Powerful Prayers for Debt Cancellation: Finding Financial Freedom Through Faith

To say financial burdens are overwhelming is an understatement. Debt can be soul-crushing. I hate debt and it always casts a dark shadow over me until I’ve paid it off.

When I’m in debt, it weighs heavily on my mind. If I’m being honest (and I am), I would want my debt to be gone overnight. I don’t want a debt snowball or a debt avalanche. I want it to go poof and vanish into the night.

However, is this really possible? Can you just pray for debt cancellation and it actually happen?   

I don’t want to make you any promises that your debt will disappear. But as Christian women, we do know we have a God who listens and assures us that we are not alone in our financial struggles. 

We also know that all things are possible with God. Continue reading

How To Stay Out Of Debt

Want to know some debt-free living tips? I have a few tips in this post that will help! Once you learn how debt sneaks up on you, you’ll be able to conquer the debt monster forever

I have a confession to make…

I have more debt than I’ve let on.

You see, this is how it happens because debt is so insidious.

It started with a For King and Country concert. My sister and mom wanted to go and so did I. My mom put the tickets to the concert on her credit and I said the infamous words…

“Thanks, I’ll pay you back”

Well about 6 or 7 I’ll pay you backs later and my mother kindly added up what I owed her and she said: “You owe me like $1100”.

Yikes!

So much for being debt free!

I mean that’s not a ton of debt but it’s nothing to sneeze at.

Those “I’ll pay you backs” really add up. They are so sneaky the way they just accumulate like that.

And I hate I mean loathe any form of debt so I’ve got to come up with a plan to pay her back (I think I owe my sister too! Boo hoo!)

And here I am thinking I’m debt-free. But I’m not and any debt is a dark thunderous cloud over my head stalking me at every turn.

No, I’m not being dramatic… ok maybe a little but it’s gotta go. And trust me it will go.

So we are definitely going to get into how I got out of debt but first let’s talk about financial freedom.Continue reading

7 Common Money Habits That Keep You Overwhelmed By Debt!

7 Habits That Keep You Stuck in Debt (And How to Break Free with God’s Help)

Credit cards.

Student loans.

Mortgages.

Some of us could be drowning in debt and guess what?

We might still decide to finance that vacation we’re going on in July.

That’s because as a society we have this philosophy that credit is free money or this “get it now pay for it later” mindset.

If we want to live debt-free as Christians, we cannot continue this way.

We are called to be good stewards of the money God has entrusted to us.

For so long, I wasn’t a good steward of His money.

I did some silly things with money that got me in major debt and I now regret them but these silly things were also good learning experiences.

I’ve learned that sometimes knowing what you shouldn’t do isn’t a strong enough catalyst to get us to change.

Sometimes, we don’t even realize which financial habits keep us enslaved.

Looking at debt from this angle might help open our eyes.
