    Debt Payoff Order: Credit Cards, Student Loans & ADHD Money Problems | 140

    You finally have some extra money in your budget. Maybe it's $300. Maybe it's more. Now what? If you have student loans, credit cards, a car loan, medical debt, or personal loans, it can be tempting to throw money at everything at once. But spreading your extra money across multiple debts can make it harder to see progress. In this episode of the Debt Rebel Podcast, Jewlz The Budget Nerd walks you through how to decide where your extra money should go—and why not all debt should automatically be treated the same. You'll learn: The difference between the debt snowball and debt avalancheHow the debt avalanche prioritizes interest ratesHow the debt snowball prioritizes smaller balancesWhy Jewlz chose the debt snowball for her family's debt payoff journeyWhat questions to ask before putting extra money toward student loansWhy an emergency fund matters before aggressively paying off debtWhen high-interest debt may need your attention firstHow student loan forgiveness can affect your strategyWhy an employer retirement match is another factor to considerWhat to do when you DON'T have extra moneyWhy fixing cash flow may need to come before debt accelerationHow to give every extra dollar a specific job The goal isn't to throw money at every debt and hope something sticks. Your debt doesn't need more gifts. It needs a plan. Your Debt Payoff HomeworkMake a simple list of: DebtBalanceInterest rateMinimum payment Then choose your target debt based on the strategy you're using. If you're using the debt snowball, start with the smallest balance. And before aggressively attacking student loans, consider: Do you have an emergency fund?Do you have high-interest debt?Are you pursuing student loan forgiveness?Are you receiving an employer retirement match?What are the interest rates on your loans? You don't have to fix your entire financial life today. Pick one target. Give your money a job. Start there.
